    thawed and well drained
1/2 red bell pepper chopped
1/8 tsp pepper




Prick bottom of pie crust with a fork and bake at 425 degrees for 10-12 minutes.  Set aside.  Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium high heat.  Add the chopped onions and red bell pepper, saute until tender.


Add cream cheese and  milk to mixture, cook over low heat, whisk until the cream cheese is melted.


Very slowly whisk about 1/4th of the hot mixture into the eggs. then add the remaining hot mixture. 
Whisk in the spinach and pepper.


Pour into the prepared pie crust and bake at 350 degrees for 35 to 40 minutes or until it is set.
