Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 TBS Unsalted Butter (- or Extra Virgin Olive Oil)
1 small Sweet Onion ( - small dice (about 1 3/4 cup))
2 cloves Garlic ( - minced)
1/4 scant tsp EACH: Crushed Red Pepper Flakes & Ground Nutmeg
10 ounces Chopped Frozen Spinach (- thawed, drained & squeezed dry (can substitute 1 ½ cups Fresh Spinach))
12-16 ounces Bacon (- cooked and chopped (about 1 ½ cups) (SEE NOTES))
1 ¼ Cup Shredded White Cheddar (- DIVIDED (4 ounces) )
1 Cup Shredded Gruyere (- DIVIDED (3 ounces))
5 large Eggs
¾ Cup Half-and-Half ((or Whole Milk, Heavy Cream))
1 heaping tsp Dijon Mustard
Kosher Salt & Ground Black Pepper
Optional Garnish: Lemon Wedges, Grated Parmesan, Fresh Scallions, Dill or Parsley
For Serving: Arugula or Greens Salad, Prosciutto

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a 9-inch deep dish pie pan (9x2-inch or equivalent) with non-stick cooking spray.
  • Cook onions: Melt butter in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions. Cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly golden and softened, about 5-6 minutes. Add the garlic, red pepper flakes and nutmeg. Season with a scant 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Cook, stirring, for 30 seconds, or until fragrant. Immediately remove from heat.
  • Add spinach and bacon: Add spinach and bacon to the pan with the onions. Stir to combine.
  • Prepare filling: Transfer spinach mixture to prepared pie pan. Add 1 cup of cheddar and ¾ cup of gruyere. Stir to combine. Use a spatula or the back of a spoon to spread the filling out in an even layer.
  • Prepare the egg custard: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the eggs, half-and-half and mustard. Season with ¼ teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Whisk well to thoroughly combine.
  • Pour custard over spinach mixture + Top with more cheese: Pour the egg custard over the spinach and bacon mixture in the prepared pan. Use a spatula or spoon to gently press the filling down into the eggs. Sprinkle the remaining ¼ cup of each cheese evenly over the quiche.
  • Bake: Transfer dish to the oven and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until eggs are just set. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the filling - it should come out clean. Note: If the top browns before the quiche is done baking, lightly tent the top of the dish with aluminum foil.
  • Cool & Serve: Remove quiche from oven and allow to cool on the counter for 10 minutes. Garnish, slice and serve quiche. Enjoy!
