Ingredients

• 1 piece 9-inch pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
• 4 pieces Large eggs
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 1 cup Whole milk
• 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 cup Shredded Gruyère cheese
• 6 slices Cooked bacon, crumbled
• 1 cup Fresh spinach, roughly chopped
• 1 small Diced onion
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Nutmeg (optional)
• 1 tablespoon Butter (for sautéing)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Place the pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim and crimp the edges, and set aside.

Step 3

In a medium skillet over medium heat, melt the butter and sauté the diced onion until it’s soft and translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add the chopped spinach and cook until wilted, about 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, and milk until fully combined. Stir in the salt, black pepper, and nutmeg if using.

Step 5

Spread the cooked onion and spinach mixture evenly over the bottom of the prepared pie crust.

Step 6

Add the crumbled bacon and shredded cheeses (cheddar and Gruyère) on top of the spinach and onion.

Step 7

Pour the egg mixture slowly over the layered ingredients in the pie crust, ensuring it fills evenly.

Step 8

Carefully transfer the quiche to the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown.

Step 9

Let the quiche cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
