This breakfast quiche provides a heart-warming way to start your day, combining the rich flavors of bacon, the earthy notes of mushrooms, the freshness of spinach, and the creamy goodness of cheese, all nestled in a flaky crust.
Ingredients
- 1 pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
- 4 slices of bacon, chopped
- 1 cup of mushrooms, sliced
- 2 cups of fresh spinach
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup of milk (or unsweetened almond milk)
- 1/2 cup of shredded cheese (such as cheddar or Swiss)
- 1/4 teaspoon of salt
- 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Prepare the Crust: Place the pie crust in a 9-inch pie pan. Pre-bake the crust for about 10 minutes, then set aside to cool slightly.
- Cook the Bacon: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the chopped bacon until crispy. Remove the bacon and place on a paper towel to drain excess fat.
- Sauté the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the sliced mushrooms and cook until tender. Add the fresh spinach and cook until wilted. Remove from heat.
- Mix the Filling: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Stir in the cooked bacon, mushrooms, spinach, and shredded cheese.
- Assemble the Quiche: Pour the egg mixture into the pre-baked pie crust.
- Bake: Place the quiche in the oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden brown.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the quiche to cool for about 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
