Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece Pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
- 6 cups Fresh spinach
- 6 slices Bacon
- 8 ounces Cremini or button mushrooms
- 1 medium Yellow onion
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves
- 4 pieces Eggs
- 0.5 cups Heavy cream
- 1 cup Shredded Gruyere or Swiss cheese
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Place the pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish, pressing it into the edges. Trim any overhang and crimp the edges if desired. Set aside.
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove the bacon from the skillet and place it on a plate lined with paper towels to drain. Once cooled, crumble the bacon and set aside.
Discard most of the bacon fat from the skillet, leaving about 1 tablespoon. Add the olive oil to the skillet.
Add the diced onion to the skillet and sauté until soft and translucent, about 4 minutes.
Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.
Slice the mushrooms and add them to the skillet. Cook until they release their moisture and begin to brown, about 6–8 minutes.
Gradually add the fresh spinach to the skillet, stirring until it wilts down completely. Remove the skillet from heat and set the mixture aside to cool slightly.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, salt, and black pepper.
Spread the spinach, mushroom, and onion mixture evenly on the bottom of the prepared pie crust.
Sprinkle the crumbled bacon over the vegetables, followed by the shredded Gruyere or Swiss cheese.
Pour the egg and cream mixture over the filling, ensuring it spreads evenly.
Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 40–45 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let the pie cool for 5–10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Enjoy your Spinach Bacon and Mushroom Savory Pie!
