Servings: 8
Ingredients
- 1 storebought pie crust
- 1 pound bacon, cooked and chopped (one 12 oz. package)
- 4 eggs, beaten
- 1 cup half and half
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
- 1 cup shredded swiss cheese
- 1 Roma tomato, thinly sliced
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350℉.
- If using a storebought pie crust, bake it first per the directions on the packaging.
- While the crust bakes, in a medium-sized bowl, add the eggs, half and half, salt, and pepper. Beat until light and fluffy and set aside.
- In a skillet, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove from heat, and place on a plate with paper towels to blot off excess grease. Then cool and chop.
- Wash and chop the spinach. Layer chopped spinach and chopped bacon in the bottom of the baked pie crust.
- Place the pie crust in the oven on a low rack and carefully pour the egg mixture over the top of the spinach and bacon. Sprinkle on the cheese and bake for 30 minutes.
- After 30 minutes, remove from the oven and add a sliced Roma tomato on top of the quiche. (optional)
- Return to the oven and cook for an additional 20-30 minutes or until the middle is set and a toothpick comes out clean when placed in the center of the quiche.
- Cool for 15 minutes before slicing to serve.
