Bacon Cheddar Spinach Quiche

June 12, 2023

INGREDIENTS

Handmade Crust:

• 2 cups white whole-wheat or all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• ½ cup fresh Ultra Premium Extra Virgin Olive Oil
• ½ cup ice cold water

Bacon Cheddar Spinach Filling:

• 8 large eggs
• 1 ½ cups heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 2 packed cups washed, dried, and roughly chopped fresh spinach
• ½ pound of bacon (precooked weight), diced and browned
• 1 ½ cups finely-grated Guyere cheese

DIRECTIONS

Preheat the oven to 375°F.

Combine the flour and the salt in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse to combine. Blend the ice water and the extra virgin olive oil together well. Pour into the food processor and pulse a few more times until the mixture comes together. On a floured surface, roll out the dough and press in to a 9" diameter pie or quiche pan.

In a large bowl, thoroughly whisk together the eggs, cream, and salt, setting aside one tablespoon of the mixture. Layer the quiche with first with chopped spinach, then the crisp bacon, and finally the cheese. Pour the egg mixture over the top. Brush the reserved tablespoon of egg mixture over the crust. Bake the quiche in the oven for 35-40 minutes or until the crust is browned and the egg is set in the center and doesn't jiggle.

Allow to cool slightly or to room temperature and serve.
