Instructions:

Precook Piecrust:

Fry Bacon:
- In a large skillet, fry the bacon pieces until they are crisp.

-
Sauté Vegetables:
- In the same skillet with the bacon drippings, sauté the onions, zucchini, and peppers until they are tender.
- Drain the vegetables well and set them aside.

Prepare Egg Mixture:
- In a separate bowl, blend the eggs, mustard, flour, and evaporated milk until well combined.
- Pour this mixture over the vegetables and cheese in the piecrust.
-
Bake:
- Bake the quiche in the preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for approximately 50 minutes.
-
Add Bacon and Cheese Topping:
- After about 35 minutes of baking time, spread the cooked bacon pieces evenly over the top of the pie.
- Sprinkle some more shredded cheese on top of the bacon.
-
Test for Doneness:
- To check if the quiche is cooked, insert a knife into the center of the pie; it should come out clean when done.
