Three Cheese Spinach Quiche

1 bottom pie crust
2 tablespoons butter
8 ounce package spinach, fresh or frozen, thawed and drained
1/2 cup red onions, minced
2 cloves minced garlic
4 ounces blue cheese, crumbled
4 ounces Swiss cheese, grated
½ pound cooked bacon
3 eggs
1 1/2 cups cream
1/2 teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 ounces Parmesan cheese, grated
1/4 cup green onions w/tops, sliced

Make the crust and set aside. Chop up the red onions and garlic and sauté them in butter for a couple of minutes and add the spinach and cook until the moisture comes out. Drain and place them in a mixing bowl and add the blue and Swiss cheese, cream, and spices. Whisk the eggs and add to the vegetables and cream. Stir in half of the bacon  and pour this mixture into the crust. Sprinkle the remaining bacon, Parmesan and green onions on top.  Bake in a 350 degree oven for 30 to 45 minutes, or until the filling is golden brown and puffy.
