Ingredients
 

  • 1 uncooked pie crust
  • 1 pound cooked bacon, chopped (Try our No Fail Bacon method.)
  • 2 cups chopped spinach
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded Swiss cheese
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper

Instructions
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F.
  2. Place the pie crust into a round baking dish. Layer the bacon, spinach and cheese into the dish.
  3. Whisk together the eggs, heavy whipping cream, salt and pepper in a mixing bowl. Pour the mixture over the top of all ingredients.
  4. Cover loosely with foil and bake for 1 hour. Remove foil and bake another 15 minutes or until the middle is set (doesn't jiggle when you shake it).
  5. Let cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Freezer Instructions

Freeze For Later: Follow Steps 2-3. Cover the casserole dish tightly with foil and a few layers of plastic wrap (or a tight-fitting lid) and freeze. Store in freezer up to 3 months.
Prepare From Frozen: Let quiche thaw in fridge for 24-48 hours. Follow Steps 4-5.

Notes/Tips

  • When you assemble the quiche, it feels like a lot of spinach. It will shrink and cook down though so don't remove any out of fear of it being too spinach heavy. 
  • If you are using a shallow baking dish, place a baking sheet underneath the dish. You might have an overflow issue on your hands.
  • Read our full post on How to Freeze Quiche if you want more information! 
  • If you want to freeze your quiche after it's been baked, you can but it will have a soggy crust and the eggs may get overdone when rewarmed in the microwave or oven. This is not our preferred freezing method.
  • This is a great recipe to double and freeze. Especially since pie crusts usually come in packages of two.
