Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece pre-made pie crust
- 4 pieces large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 6 slices smoked bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 0.5 piece yellow onion, finely diced
- 1 cup baby spinach, chopped
- 1 piece Roma tomato, diced
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.125 teaspoon nutmeg
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the pre-made pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish, pressing it gently into the dish. Trim any excess overhang and crimp the edges if desired.
In a medium skillet over medium heat, sauté the diced onion until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the chopped spinach and cook for another 2 minutes, until wilted. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and heavy cream until fully combined. Season with salt, black pepper, and nutmeg.
Layer the crumbled bacon, sautéed onion and spinach, diced tomato, and shredded cheddar cheese evenly in the prepared pie crust.
Pour the egg mixture over the layered fillings, ensuring it fills all gaps and reaches just below the edge of the crust.
Carefully transfer the quiche to the oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is lightly golden. To check doneness, insert a knife or toothpick into the center—it should come out clean.
Remove the quiche from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
