Quiche has always been a longtime favorite for me, since childhood. This is my very own recipe that I have made too many times to count and every time it has come out just as good, if not better, than the last time! It's ingredients are simple, and not overly complicated. Spinach, Swiss, Gruyere and bacon are the highlights. Now to share it with you!
Total Time: 1 hour and 15 mins
Prep: 15 min
Cook: 45 mins to 1 hour
Yield: 8 servings
Level: Easy
Ingredients
6 large eggs, beaten
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
Salt and pepper
2 tsp of Herbs de Province
1 1/2 tsp of garlic powder
1 tsp of parsley
2 cups chopped fresh baby spinach, packed
1 pound bacon, cooked and crumbled
1 cup shredded Gruyere Cheese
1/2 cups of premium Swiss cheese
1 (9-inch) refrigerated pie crust, fitted to a 9-inch glass pie plate. (Feel free to grab a pre-made one from the grocery store or make your very own from scratch! I recommend using the basic pie crust recipe from the Joy of Cooking cookbook!)
Directions
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Combine the eggs, cream, salt, pepper, herbs de province, garlic and parsley in a food processor or blender, till smooth. Layer the spinach, bacon, and cheese in the bottom of the pie crust, then pour the egg mixture on top. Bake for 45 minutes to an hour until the egg mixture is set. Feel free to layer a bit more grated cheese on top 10 mins before taking it out of the oven. Let cool about 10-15 mins before cutting. Cut into 8 wedges.
**Serve alongside a mixed greens salad with a french vinaigrette dressing.
