Categories     Breakfast

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 15

6 large eggs
2/3 cup whole milk
¼ cup half-and-half
½ teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (optional)
Pinch ground nutmeg (optional)
1 1/2 cups mix-ins of choice: See below for suggestions and ingredient notes for a broccoli bacon version
2/3 cup grated Gruyère cheese (or swap fontina, sharp cheddar, or smoked mozzarella)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
Cooked (crumbled bacon)
Chopped and sautéed broccoli
Caramelized onions
Cubed leftover ham
Roasted vegetables (roughly chopped)

Steps:

  • Place a rack in the center of your oven and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a deep 9-inch pie dish with nonstick spray.
  • Prepare any mix-ins (see recipe notes for a broccoli bacon version and the blog post above for more suggestions).
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, half-and-half, salt, pepper, mustard, and nutmeg.
  • Scatter the mix-ins evenly across the bottom of the prepared pie dish.
  • Sprinkle the cheese on top.
  • Carefully pour the egg mixture into the dish. Place the dish on a rimmed baking sheet. Sprinkle the chives over the top.
  • Bake the quiche on the baking sheet until the center is set, about 35 minutes. It should look puffed and golden at the edges, and when a thin, sharp knife is inserted in the center, the center should be cooked through without visible liquid. Let cool a few minutes. Cut into big wedges. Enjoy warm.

Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 TBS Unsalted Butter (- or Extra Virgin Olive Oil)
1 small Sweet Onion ( - small dice (about 1 3/4 cup))
2 cloves Garlic ( - minced)
1/4 scant tsp EACH: Crushed Red Pepper Flakes & Ground Nutmeg
10 ounces Chopped Frozen Spinach (- thawed, drained & squeezed dry (can substitute 1 ½ cups Fresh Spinach))
12-16 ounces Bacon (- cooked and chopped (about 1 ½ cups) (SEE NOTES))
1 ¼ Cup Shredded White Cheddar (- DIVIDED (4 ounces) )
1 Cup Shredded Gruyere (- DIVIDED (3 ounces))
5 large Eggs
¾ Cup Half-and-Half ((or Whole Milk, Heavy Cream))
1 heaping tsp Dijon Mustard
Kosher Salt & Ground Black Pepper
Optional Garnish: Lemon Wedges, Grated Parmesan, Fresh Scallions, Dill or Parsley
For Serving: Arugula or Greens Salad, Prosciutto

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a 9-inch deep dish pie pan (9x2-inch or equivalent) with non-stick cooking spray.
  • Cook onions: Melt butter in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions. Cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly golden and softened, about 5-6 minutes. Add the garlic, red pepper flakes and nutmeg. Season with a scant 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Cook, stirring, for 30 seconds, or until fragrant. Immediately remove from heat.
  • Add spinach and bacon: Add spinach and bacon to the pan with the onions. Stir to combine.
  • Prepare filling: Transfer spinach mixture to prepared pie pan. Add 1 cup of cheddar and ¾ cup of gruyere. Stir to combine. Use a spatula or the back of a spoon to spread the filling out in an even layer.
  • Prepare the egg custard: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the eggs, half-and-half and mustard. Season with ¼ teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Whisk well to thoroughly combine.
  • Pour custard over spinach mixture + Top with more cheese: Pour the egg custard over the spinach and bacon mixture in the prepared pan. Use a spatula or spoon to gently press the filling down into the eggs. Sprinkle the remaining ¼ cup of each cheese evenly over the quiche.
  • Bake: Transfer dish to the oven and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until eggs are just set. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the filling - it should come out clean. Note: If the top browns before the quiche is done baking, lightly tent the top of the dish with aluminum foil.
  • Cool & Serve: Remove quiche from oven and allow to cool on the counter for 10 minutes. Garnish, slice and serve quiche. Enjoy!

SPINACH AND BACON QUICHE

A friend of mine made this, and I just had to have the recipe. And it is the best tasting quiche I have had in years. Never any complaints when I make it. Great for a fall/winter dinner with a cup of soup.

Provided by Lindalou

Categories     100+ Breakfast and Brunch Recipes     Eggs     Quiche

Time 50m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

¾ pound sliced bacon
1 (9 inch) single refrigerated pie crust
6 eggs, beaten
1 ½ cups heavy cream
salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 dashes Worcestershire sauce
5 dashes hot pepper sauce, or to taste
1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach - thawed, drained and squeezed dry
1 ½ cups shredded Cheddar cheese
½ cup chopped green onion
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

  • Fit the pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish, and set aside.
  • In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, cream, salt, black pepper, Worcestershire sauce, and hot pepper sauce. Spread the spinach into the bottom of the pie crust; top with bacon, Cheddar cheese, and green onion. Pour the egg mixture over the filling, and sprinkle the quiche with Parmesan cheese.

Tips:

  • Prep the Crustless Quiche Pan: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch pie plate or quiche dish with cooking spray or butter. This will help prevent the quiche from sticking and ensure it cooks evenly.
  • Choose High-Quality Ingredients: Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor and texture. Look for thick-cut bacon, fresh spinach, and flavorful cheeses.
  • Crisp the Bacon: Cook the bacon until it's nice and crispy. This will add a delicious smoky flavor to the quiche.
  • Wilt the Spinach: Wilt the spinach in a large skillet over medium heat until it's just wilted. This will help remove excess moisture and make it easier to incorporate into the quiche filling.
  • Use a Variety of Cheeses: For a rich and flavorful quiche, use a combination of cheeses. A good option is a blend of Gruyère, Cheddar, and Parmesan.
  • Season the Filling: Don't forget to season the quiche filling with salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices to taste. This will enhance the overall flavor of the dish.
  • Bake the Quiche: Bake the quiche until the center is set and the top is golden brown. This should take about 45-50 minutes.
  • Let the Quiche Cool: Let the quiche cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving. This will help it set and make it easier to cut.

Conclusion:

This Bacon and Spinach Crustless Quiche is a delicious and versatile dish that's perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It's packed with flavor from the crispy bacon, wilted spinach, and flavorful cheeses. Plus, it's easy to make and can be tailored to your own preferences. Whether you're a fan of quiche or just looking for a new and exciting recipe, be sure to give this one a try.
