Easy Bacon Spinach Quiche Recipe

We're a fan of all things quiche at our house. I make them regularly in a variety of flavor combinations and I can tell you first hand that "real men" DO eat quiche. My teenagers love it! How do you make Spinach Bacon Quiche? Think of quiche as a savory pie. First, start with a quality crust either frozen, refrigerated or homemade. Next, cook the bacon, then whisk together the eggs, cream and simple seasonings. Layer the spinach, bacon and cheese in the pie shell then pour the egg mixture evenly over all. Top with more cheese and bake, it's as easy as that.

How to Make the Best Bacon Spinach Quiche Recipe

• Ingredients you'll need to make homemade Bacon Spinach Quiche: One 9 inch deep dish pie crust, bacon, baby spinach leaves, green onions, heavy cream, large eggs, shredded Gruyere or Swiss or Cheddar cheese, salt, black pepper, granulated garlic and ground nutmeg.
• Kitchen gadgets you'll need: A 9 inch deep dish pie pan, measuring cups and spoons, a skillet, whisk, mixing bowl, sharp knife and cutting board and cooling rack.
• I find it helpful to place the quiche onto a sheet pan to make it easier to move in and out of the oven.
• I use a frozen pie crust for this recipe and find that when doing so, I can skip the parbake step. When using a refrigerated crust or a homemade crust, it's important to cover with parchment, fill with pie weights or beans and take a few minutes to bake the crust to seal it. See how to make my Flaky Pie Crust recipe here.
• After pouring the egg filling over the spinach, bacon and cheese take a fork and gently move (don't stir) the filling so it seeps through all of the ingredients evenly.
• You can use 1 cup of chopped frozen spinach in a pinch for the filling. When doing so, thaw and squeeze the excess moisture out of the spinach to prevent watering down the filling.
• When baking quiche, the filling often puffs up quite a bit. This is a normal part of the process and it will settle as the quiche cools. It's important to allow ample stand time so it will hold together when sliced.
• This quiche can be made up to one day in advance and reheated just before serving. To reheat a whole quiche, lay foil on top and heat in a 325°F oven for 15 minutes or just until heated through.
• You can reheat Bacon Spinach Quiche in single servings gently in the microwave.
• Store baked quiche chilled in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
