QUICHE ESSENTIALS: SPINACH, MUSHROOM, BACON TART
Is it a quiche, or is it a tart? Well, it is a quiche recipe baked in a tart pan. And if you want to go a bit crazy, I just came up with a savory cream cheese pie crust, that knocks this recipe right out of the park.

Steps:
- 1. PREP/PREPARE
- 2. Chef's Tip: One of the tricks to making a good quiche is the proper balance of liquids in the recipe. There are a lot of places that liquids can hide, and ruin the dish. So, we are essentially going to precook our veggies, and remove as much hidden moisture as possible.
- 3. Gather your Ingredients (mise en place)
- 4. Place your pie crust in a tart pan, and blind bake in a 350f (175c) oven until it begins to brown, about 10 - 12 minutes.
- 5. Place the crust in the fridge, and move on to the filling.
- 6. Chef's Note: If you are looking for a really yummy savory pie crust, here ya go: https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/main-course/savory-pies/pastry-essentials-cream-cheese-pie-crust.html
- 7. Add the bacon to a large skillet over medium heat.
- 8. Cook until the bacon begins to brown, and renders its fat into the skillet, about 5 - 7 minutes.
- 9. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon, and drain on paper towels.
- 10. Add the onions to the skillet, and cook them in the bacon grease, until they begin to soften, about 3 - 5 minutes.
- 11. Add the garlic, and cook until fragrant, about 60 seconds.
- 12. Add the mushrooms, and cook until they soften and release their moisture, about 5 - 7 minutes.
- 13. Add the spinach, and continue to cook until most of the moisture has evaporated, about 3 - 5 minutes.
- 14. Take the skillet off the heat.
- 15. Place a rack in the middle position, and preheat the oven to 375f (190c).
- 16. Grate the cheese.
- 17. Chef's Note: You could use different cheeses; however, some cheese get very oily when cooked. I choose Gruyère because it is very stable when heated, and it is a perfect complement to the other ingredients in this recipe.
- 18. Add the eggs, evaporated milk, salt, mustard powder, pepper, and nutmeg to a bowl, and whisk to combine.
- 19. Add the cheese, milk/egg mixture to the skillet, and mix to combine.
- 20. Remove the tart crust from the fridge, and add the filling.
- 21. Add to the preheated oven, and bake until bubbly, and beginning to brown, about 35 - 40 minutes.
- 22. Chef's Note: If you really want to give this recipe an added level of flavor, sprinkle a bit of freshly-grated Pecorino Romano on the top before placing it into the oven, and then sprinkle a bit more on when you take it out.
- 23. PLATE/PRESENT
- 24. Serve while still nice and warm. Enjoy
- 25. Keep the faith, and keep cooking.
Tips:
- For a richer flavor, use a combination of butter and olive oil to sauté the vegetables.
- Don't overcook the vegetables; they should be tender but still have a slight crunch.
- Use a good quality cheese that melts well. A sharp cheddar, Gruyère, or Emmental are all good choices.
- Don't overbeat the eggs; you want them to be light and fluffy.
- Bake the quiche until it is set in the center and the top is golden brown.
- Let the quiche cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
