Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 slices Bacon
- 6 cups Fresh spinach
- 6 large Eggs
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.125 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
- 1.5 cups Shredded Swiss cheese
- 1 teaspoons Butter (for greasing)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9-inch pie plate or baking dish with the teaspoon of butter and set aside.
Cook the bacon slices in a large skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove from the skillet and place on a paper towel-lined plate to cool. Once cooled, crumble the bacon into small pieces.
In the same skillet, add the fresh spinach (you may need to do this in batches) and cook over medium heat until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Remove spinach from skillet, place on a clean plate, and let cool slightly. Squeeze out any excess liquid to avoid a watery quiche.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and nutmeg until well combined.
Spread the cooked spinach evenly across the bottom of the prepared pie plate. Sprinkle the crumbled bacon on top of the spinach. Add an even layer of the shredded Swiss cheese.
Pour the egg and cream mixture over the toppings in the pie plate, ensuring it spreads evenly and fully coats the ingredients.
Place the pie plate on the center rack of your preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the quiche is set and the top is lightly golden. To check for doneness, insert a knife into the center. It should come out clean.
Remove quiche from the oven and let cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
