Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375°. Bake pastry shell for 8-10 minutes or until browned. Remove shell from oven, and set aside. Leave oven on.

Chop turkey bacon and saute in a skillet over medium high heat until slightly crispy. Remove from pan and set aside.

Heat oil over medium to medium high heat. Add onion, saute 2-3 minutes until tender. Add mushrooms & spinach. Saute 4-5 minutes until spinach is soft. (Mine got a little watery, so I kept it on heat until most of the moisture had cooked out.) Add turkey bacon back to the pan and stir to combine well.

In a bowl beat eggs, egg whites, and half & half (I did this in my Magic Bullet Blender, and then poured it in the bowl). Season with salt & pepper. Add in veggie/bacon mixture and stir to combine. Add feta, stir to combine, and pour into pie shell.

Bake 20-30 minutes or until completely set, and slightly golden & crispy on top.
