Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the pie crust in a 9-inch tart or pie pan, pressing it gently against the bottom and sides. Prick the base with a fork to prevent it from puffing up during baking. Bake the pie crust for about 10 minutes, or until slightly golden. Remove from the oven and set aside.
-
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and heavy cream until well combined. Season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg, and set aside.
-
In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the chopped spinach and sauté for 2-3 minutes until wilted. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
-
Spread the sautéed spinach evenly over the bottom of the pre-baked pie crust. Sprinkle half of the shredded Gruyere cheese on top of the spinach.
-
Pour the egg and cream mixture over the spinach and cheese in the pie crust. Make sure the filling is evenly distributed.
-
Scatter the crumbled bacon over the top of the quiche filling. Sprinkle the remaining Gruyere cheese on top.
-
Place the quiche in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown.
-
Once baked, remove the quiche from the oven and let it cool slightly before slicing and serving. This quiche can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature, making it perfect for any time of day.
