Number Of Ingredients 14

1 pie crust (refrigerated, frozen, or homemade)
6 ounces bacon
10 ounces frozen chopped spinach (thawed)
3 eggs
1 cup evaporated milk (or half and half, whole milk, or part heavy cream)
½ cup ricotta cheese
2 ½ tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground pepper
2 cups sharp cheddar cheese (grated)
1 cup mushrooms (sliced)
1 to 2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Place a baking sheet in the oven and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • If using a frozen pie crust, thaw, and keep in the fridge until needed.
  • Put the thawed spinach in a colander and squeeze and drain as much water as possible. Make sure it is very well drained. Set aside.
  • Slice the mushrooms and sauté over medium high heat in a medium skillet with 1 to 2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Sauté, stirring frequently, for about 5 to 6 minutes.
  • Cook bacon and chop into small pieces. Place on paper towels to absorb any excess grease. Try baking bacon or making air fryer bacon.
  • Remove the pie crust from the refrigerator. If using a frozen pie crust, place the pie tin in a larger pie dish.
  • In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the eggs, evaporated milk, ricotta cheese, flour, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper together until smooth. Stir in the spinach, cheddar cheese, and mushrooms until combined.
  • Pour the mixture into the prepared pie crust. Arrange the crumbled bacon on top. (The bacon can also be mixed in with the filling if you prefer.)
  • Carefully place the quiche on the heated baking sheet and bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until the middle is just set and is no longer jiggly. Let cool for 15 minutes before cutting into pieces and serving.

Tips for Making the Best Spinach Quiche:

  • Use fresh spinach. Fresh spinach has the best flavor and texture for quiche. If you can't find fresh spinach, you can use frozen spinach, but be sure to thaw it and squeeze out all the excess water before using.
  • Don't overcook the spinach. Spinach cooks very quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Overcooked spinach will be mushy and lose its flavor.
  • Use a good quality cheese. The type of cheese you use will greatly affect the flavor of your quiche. Use a cheese that melts well and has a strong flavor, such as cheddar, Gruyère, or Swiss cheese.
  • Don't overbeat the eggs. Overbeaten eggs will make your quiche tough. Simply whisk the eggs until they are combined.
  • Bake the quiche until it is set. The quiche is done baking when the center is set and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.

Conclusion:

Spinach quiche is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. With its creamy filling and flaky crust, it is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a tasty and satisfying meal, give spinach quiche a try. You won't be disappointed!
