A delicious quiche combining creamy filling, crispy bacon, and fresh spinach in a flaky crust, perfect for any meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 and 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, spooned & leveled (195 grams)
  • 3/4 tsp salt (1/2 tsp + 1/4 tsp)
  • 9 tbsp cold salted butter, cubed (127 grams)
  • 4–5 tbsp ice cold water
  • 5 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk (2%)
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 tsp minced garlic
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • Pinch of black pepper
  • 1 and 1/2 cups fresh spinach, torn into smaller pieces
  • 1 and 1/3 cups shredded cheese (sharp cheddar and Monterey Jack mix)
  • 6–8 slices cooked bacon, roughly chopped

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust dough: In a bowl, mix the flour and salt. Add the cold butter and mix until coarse. Then, add ice cold water one tablespoon at a time until the dough forms. Flatten it into a thick disc, wrap in plastic, and chill in the fridge for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  2. Roll out the dough: On a floured surface, roll the chilled dough to about 1/8 inch thick. It should be large enough to cover a 9-inch deep pie plate with 2 inches extra around the edges.
  3. Transfer to pie dish: Gently place the dough in the pie dish, pressing it to remove any gaps. Trim excess dough, leaving a 1/2 inch edge for crimping. Crimp the edges and freeze for 10 minutes while preheating the oven to 425°F (220°C).
  4. Bake the crust: Prick the bottom of the frozen dough with a fork. Line it with parchment paper and fill with pie weights. Bake for 15-19 minutes until edges are lightly browned. Remove weights, brush edges with egg wash, and bake for 2-4 more minutes until set.
  5. Make the filling: In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, cream, minced garlic, salt, pepper, spinach, cheese, and chopped bacon until combined.
  6. Pour the filling into the prepared crust. If needed, cover the edges with foil to prevent burning. Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 40-44 minutes until the filling is set and lightly browned. Check the edges around 25-30 minutes.
  7. Cool and serve: Let the quiche cool for 15-30 minutes before slicing. It can be served warm or cold.

Notes

Use cold butter for a flakier crust. Feel free to mix different cheeses or add vegetables for variations.
