As you might know. I like making vegetable quiches and pies. This is a lovely way to eat your spinach!

For a vegetarian alternative I would replace the bacon with a handful of toasted nuts like pine nuts.

1. Prepare your base as described in my asparagus pie recipe.
2. While your base bakes:
   1. Clean your spinach leaves.
   2. Fry your leaves in the oil until all spinach has wilted.
   3. Place your spinach in a collinder and let the access water drain out.
   4. Fry your bacon cubes until they are crisp.
   5. Wisk and mix your eggs and mix in your cream.
3. Build your pie:
   1. Divide your spinach and bacon over the base.
   2. Pour over the egg and cream mixture.
   3. Crumble the cheese over the top.
4. Bake for 20 minutes in a 200 degrees C oven.
