Zucchini and Mushroom Quiche

This recipe originally came from Pampered Chef. I modified it a little to make it easier for me (I never have bacon in the house. But you can make it with bacon too)

1 pre-made pie crust (or homemade, as you wish)
1/2 pound bacon (I just use bacon bits)
1/2 cup chopped onions (normally, i just use red onion)
3/4 package sliced mushrooms
1 1/2 cups sliced zucchini
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (again, use whatever you have, whatever you like)
2 large eggs
1 cup milk
1 tsp parsley
1/2 tsp salt and pepper each
1/4 tsp nutmeg

Preheat over to 375 degrees. Place pie crust in a 9 inch pie plate. (cook bacon if you're using it, then crumble). Saute onions, mushrooms, and zucchini, and salt and pepper until tender. (add bacon here) Spread vegetable mixture over the bottom of the pie crust. Sprinkle cheese over the vegetables. Whisk eggs, milk, and seasonings together. Pour egg mixture over the cheese. Bake 35-40 min. or until eggs mixture is solid in the middle.

In this recipe, you may need to make adjustments to quantities based on preference and what will fit in the pie crust.
