A love letter to a college kid for Easter
Anyone can make quiche and this is the perfect time to make one! Even a college student with a dorm kitchen can make this. This is a Green Run Recipe, perhaps even easier than a breakfast burrito and more impressive. Below is the simplest version possible - with the college kid shortcuts in mind. You know who you are! Love you!

Ingredients
Pie Crust - Green Groom Run Version - get a pre-made Pillsbury Pie crust in an aluminum pan (they come in packs of two so maybe you make an extra for friends?)...
1 cup half-and-half or milk
4 eggs, slightly beaten
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
8 slices bacon, crisply cooked, crumbled (3/4 cup) - option for a cat track here - buy pre-cooked Oscar Meyer bacon and chop up into 1/4 inch pieces
1 cup shredded Swiss or Cheddar cheese
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon chopped onion, if desired
Preparation
Heat oven to 350°F. Again, we are on a groomed green run - follow instructions on the pie crust package. Prick holes all around the bottom crust with a fork. Place the pie crust in the oven. Bake until the bottom crust is just beginning to brown, about 7-8 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside. (Crust can still be warm when you pour in the filling.)

In medium bowl, mix half-and-half, eggs, salt and pepper; set aside.

Layer bacon, cheeses and onion in crust-lined plate. Pour egg mixture over top.

Bake 40 to 50 minutes or until knife inserted in center comes out clean. Let stand 5 minutes; cut and enjoy!
