Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece 9-inch pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
- 4 pieces Large eggs
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Shredded Gruyère cheese
- 6 slices Cooked bacon, crumbled
- 1 cup Fresh spinach, roughly chopped
- 1 small Diced onion
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Nutmeg (optional)
- 1 tablespoon Butter (for sautéing)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Place the pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim and crimp the edges, and set aside.
In a medium skillet over medium heat, melt the butter and sauté the diced onion until it’s soft and translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add the chopped spinach and cook until wilted, about 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, and milk until fully combined. Stir in the salt, black pepper, and nutmeg if using.
Spread the cooked onion and spinach mixture evenly over the bottom of the prepared pie crust.
Add the crumbled bacon and shredded cheeses (cheddar and Gruyère) on top of the spinach and onion.
Pour the egg mixture slowly over the layered ingredients in the pie crust, ensuring it fills evenly.
Carefully transfer the quiche to the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown.
Let the quiche cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
