  • Yield 8 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 Single pie crust (homemade or store-bought)
  • 4-5 strips bacon (diced)
  • ½ cup onion (small diced)
  • 2 garlic cloves (minced)
  • 2 cups fresh spinach (chopped)
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup shredded Swiss cheese
  • ½ cup shredded Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup half and half

Instructions

  1. Prepare the pie crust by rolling it out on a floured surface to about 13 inches wide and transferring it to a 9-inch pie dish. Trim and crimp the edges as desired, then freeze for 30 minutes while preheating the oven to 425°F.
  2. Transfer the frozen pie crust to a sheet pan, cover with greased foil, and fill it with pie weights or dried beans. Bake for 10-15 minutes until the edges are dry and set.
  3. Remove the crust from the oven, lift out the foil and weights, and let them cool.
  4. Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F.
  5. While the crust cools, sauté the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 5 minutes. Transfer to paper towels to absorb extra grease.
  6. Sauté the onions and garlic in about 1 tablespoon of leftover bacon grease until translucent, about 3-5 minutes. Add spinach and cook until wilted, about 1-2 minutes.
  7. Combine the cooked mixture with the bacon in the pie shell and let it cool slightly.
  8. Whisk together the eggs, half and half, cheeses, salt, and pepper. Pour into the pie shell, ensuring an even layer within the crust.
  9. Bake until the center is set but still wobbles slightly, about 40-50 minutes.
  10. Allow the quiche to cool for at least 20 minutes before slicing. Serve warm, at room temperature, or chilled. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Notes

Feel free to customize the types of cheese based on your preference.
Letting the quiche cool enhances the flavor and makes slicing easier.
This dish is great for meal prepping; make it ahead of time for quick lunches.
