Ingredients

  • Refrigerated store-bought pie crust *see notes
  • 1 cup milk
  • 5 eggs slightly beaten
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 4 slices bacon cooked and crumbled
  • 1 cup shredded cheese cheddar, swiss, asiago, etc.
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup fresh baby spinach leaves chopped (see notes for frozen spinach)
  • 2-3 scallions with green parts, sliced thinly

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a 9-inch pie plate with store bought pie crust and crimp the edges.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk milk, eggs, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
  • Layer cooked bacon, cheeses, spinach and scallions in the crust-lined pie plate. Pour the egg mixture over the top. Bake 15 minutes in the oven at 425 degrees. Reduce the oven temperature to 325 degrees and continue to bake for another 20 to 25 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the middle comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes before cutting into wedges.

Notes

  1. Spinach: If substituting frozen spinach, be sure to thaw first and then ring out as much moisture as possible. Too much moisture will lengthen the baking time. Also, if using frozen spinach, whisk it into the egg mixture so it doesn't clump together.
  2. Pie Crust: A reader commented that a deep-dish pie crust worked best for her. I have made this quiche many times using Marie Calendar's frozen pie crust, and it worked well, too.
  3. Storing: Once the quiche is baked, let it cool completely before wrapping it tightly and storing it in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days.
  4. Reheating Quiche: To reheat a chilled quiche, let it come to room temperature while the oven preheats to 350 degrees F. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until the quiche reaches 165 degrees F.
