Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece store-bought pie crust (9-inch, unbaked)
- 4 pieces large eggs
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 0.5 cup whole milk
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup shredded Gruyère cheese
- 0.5 cup cooked and crumbled bacon
- 1 cup chopped fresh spinach
- 0.5 cup diced onion
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
If using a store-bought pie crust, roll it out into a 9-inch pie dish, pressing it firmly into the edges. Trim any excess dough.
Place the prepared pie crust in the refrigerator to chill while preparing the filling.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, and whole milk until well combined.
Season the egg mixture with salt and black pepper, whisking again to evenly distribute the seasoning.
Sprinkle the shredded Gruyère cheese across the bottom of the chilled pie crust.
Evenly spread the cooked bacon, chopped spinach, and diced onions over the cheese in the pie crust.
Pour the egg mixture over the fillings, allowing it to distribute evenly.
Carefully place the quiche in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is slightly golden.
Remove from the oven and allow the quiche to cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
