Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece store-bought pie crust
- 5 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup shredded Gruyère cheese
- 5 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 1 cup spinach, chopped
- 0.5 cup red bell pepper, diced
- 2 stalks green onion, thinly sliced
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.125 teaspoons nutmeg, ground
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Place the pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish and gently press it into the dish. Trim any overhanging edges if necessary.
Prick the bottom of the pie crust lightly with a fork to prevent bubbles, and prebake it for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, salt, pepper, and nutmeg until well combined.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the bottom of the prebaked crust.
Layer the cooked and crumbled bacon, chopped spinach, diced red bell pepper, and sliced green onions over the cheese.
Pour the egg mixture gently into the pie crust, ensuring the filling is evenly distributed.
Top the quiche with shredded Gruyère cheese.
Place the quiche on the center rack of the oven and bake for 35-40 minutes or until the center is set and the top is golden brown.
Remove the quiche from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
