Ingredients

• 1.25 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cups unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons cold water
• 6 large eggs
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 0.5 cups whole milk
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 1.5 cups grated Gruyère or Swiss cheese
• 6 pieces bacon strips, cooked and crumbled
• 1 cup baby spinach leaves
• 0.5 cups diced onion

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

To make the crust, add the all-purpose flour and a pinch of salt to a mixing bowl. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 3

Add cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the dough holds together when pressed. Form it into a disc, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes.

Step 4

Roll out the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface into a 12-inch circle. Carefully transfer it to a 9-inch pie dish, pressing it into the bottom and sides. Trim any overhang and crimp the edges as desired.

Step 5

Blind bake the crust: Line the crust with parchment paper and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove the weights and bake an additional 5 minutes. Let cool slightly.

Step 6

In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, milk, salt, and pepper until fully combined.

Step 7

Evenly sprinkle the grated cheese, crumbled bacon, spinach, and diced onion over the cooled pie crust.

Step 8

Pour the egg mixture over the filling ingredients, ensuring it reaches all edges and doesn’t overflow.

Step 9

Place the quiche on a baking sheet to catch any spills, then bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden brown.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let the quiche cool for 10 minutes. Slice into wedges and serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
