Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 0.5 cup cooked bacon, crumbled
- 0.5 cup chopped spinach (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon onion powder
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease an 8x8-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a medium bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, butter, and salt. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Press the dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish to form the crust.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the crust layer in the baking dish.
In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, and heavy cream until fully combined and slightly frothy. Add the black pepper and onion powder, adjusting seasoning to taste.
Fold in the crumbled bacon and chopped spinach (if using). Carefully pour the egg mixture over the cheese layer in the baking dish.
Bake the quiche in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is slightly golden.
Remove from the oven and allow the quiche to cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing into squares.
Serve warm as an appetizer, side dish, or brunch main course. Enjoy!
