Spinach Bacon Quiche
Spinach bacon quiche is a classic savory quiche with a creamy egg filling, crispy bacon, tender spinach, and melty cheddar baked in a flaky crust.
Ingredients
- 1 single pie crust
- 8 eggs
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 cups fresh baby spinach
- 8 slices bacon, cooked & diced
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Place the pie crust in a pie dish.
- In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and pepper until smooth.
- Add half of the spinach to the pie crust, then add half of the bacon and half of the cheddar.
- Repeat with the remaining spinach, bacon, and cheddar.
- Pour the egg mixture evenly over the layers.
- Bake for 35 to 45 minutes, or until the center is set and no longer jiggly.
- Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes
- Layering helps: Layering spinach, bacon, and cheese twice keeps the fillings evenly distributed so everything does not sink to the bottom.
- Cook bacon until crisp: Crisp bacon holds its texture better after baking.
- Do not over bake: Pull the quiche when the center is just set since it will continue to firm up as it rests.
- Rest before slicing: Let it rest for 10 minutes so the custard sets and slices stay clean.
- If spinach is wet: Pat it dry so extra moisture does not make the quiche watery.
