    Method
    Preheat oven to 350 - 375 degrees F. Prepare quiche filling by heating butter in a sauté pan or skillet over medium heat. Add scallions, red and green bell pepper, mushroom and tomato, saute until tender. Remove from heat and stir in bacon and parsley. Prepare custard by combining eggs, cream, nutmeg, chives, salt and pepper in a bowl, mix thoroughly.

    Place cooled bacon and mushroom mixture in pie shell and spread evenly. Top with shredded cheeses. Pour in custard and gently tap quiche on work surface to remove "air pockets." Bake at 350-75 degrees F for 45 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. Test by piercing with a small knife. If knife comes out clean, the quiche is done. Cool quiche for 15-20 minutes before slicing.

    Makes: 1 quiche (8-10 servings)
