Bacon Spinach Quiche
Savory, cheesy Bacon Spinach Quiche baked in a flaky pie crust. This delicious quiche is soft, creamy and perfect for a filling make-ahead breakfast, lunch or dinner. The combination of fresh spinach, salty bacon and loads of cheese make the best quiche.
Ingredients
- 1 Pie Dough For a 9-inch pie
- 5 slices thick cut bacon cooked, rough chopped
- 1 cup fresh spinach
- 5 large eggs
- 4 ounces cheddar cheese shredded
- 2 ounces mozzarella cheese shredded
- 1 cup milk
- To Taste salt
- To Taste pepper
I always use Kosher salt in my kitchen! If using table salt, start with half the amount and adjust to taste, as it is much "saltier" by volume.
Instructions
- Preheat an oven to 400° F. Roll out the pie crust and fit into a 9-inch pie dish. Keep refrigerated while preparing the remaining ingredients.
- Bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Add in the spinach and boil for 2 minutes. Remove from the pot with a mesh strainer, run under cold water to stop the cooking. Squeeze the spinach until all of the water comes out. Place on a cutting board and roughly chop.
- In a large bowl whisk the eggs with the milk. Season with salt and pepper. Add in the chopped spinach and mix well.
- Remove the pie crust from the refrigerator and sprinkle in the cheese and chopped bacon. Pour over the egg mixture and place on a baking sheet.
- Bake for 15 minutes. Turn the heat down to 375° F and bake for another 25 minutes or until the center is just set. Remove from the oven and allow to cool, on a cooling rack, for 15 minutes before cutting and serving. Enjoy!
