Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 box (8.5 oz) cornbread mix
- 0.5 cups milk
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 1 cup spinach, chopped
- 0.75 cups heavy cream
- 3 large eggs
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoon butter
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9-inch pie dish or quiche pan with butter and set aside.
In a medium bowl, prepare the cornbread mix by combining the mix, milk, and 1 egg. Stir until well blended.
Pour the cornbread batter into the prepared dish, spreading it evenly across the bottom. Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, or until partially set but not fully cooked.
While the cornbread base is baking, prepare the quiche filling. In a large bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, 3 eggs, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
Add the shredded cheddar cheese, cooked and crumbled bacon, and chopped spinach to the egg mixture. Stir to combine.
Once the cornbread base is partially baked, remove it from the oven. Gently pour the quiche filling over the cornbread layer, spreading the ingredients evenly.
Place the dish back in the oven and bake for an additional 30-35 minutes, or until the quiche is set in the center and slightly golden on top.
Allow the cornbread quiche to cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
