Bacon and Green Chile Quiche

 
Bacon and Green Chile Quiche
bacon-chile-cheese-quiche
This is my favorite "easy" quiche recipe that uses bacon, cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses, canned green chiles and scallions, eggs and half and half.  I typically "short cut" the time by using a frozen pie crust.
