Mini Spinach, Bacon, Cheese Quiches image

A delicious, crust-free mini quiche perfect to use when you have a little leftover bacon and fresh spinach. Choose good quality cheeses freshly grated (I used Beecher's Marco Polo in place of mozzarella and Parmesano-Reggiano) and these will be even better. Prep time is if you are using leftover bacon.

Time 55m

Yield 10 mini-quiches, 3-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 slices bacon, crisply cooked and crumbled
1 tablespoon bacon grease or 1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 cup onion, diced
5 ounces fresh spinach, chopped
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
15 ounces ricotta cheese
8 ounces mozzarella cheese, shredded
1 cup parmesan cheese, grated
3 eggs

Steps:

  • In a skillet over medium heat cook the onions in bacon grease OR olive oil until tender.
  • Add spinach and seasonings and stir. Turn heat up to medium high to cook off spinach moisture. This will take only a couple of minutes; you want spinach just wilted and still bright green.
  • Remove from heat and stir in bacon. Allow to cool for at least 10 minutes.
  • Combine cheeses in a large bowl.
  • Add eggs and stir until well blended.
  • Add cooled spinach mixture. Stir to combine.
  • Divide mixture evenly among 10 lightly greased muffin cups. Fill other two empty cups 1/2 full of water (to allow for even cooking).
  • Bake at 350 for 40 minutes until filling is set.
  • Let stand for 10 minutes, then run a thin knife around edges to release.
  • Serve warm.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my quiches turned out dry and crumbly. Maybe I overcooked them?

I'm not a huge fan of quiche, but these were actually really good. The spinach and bacon filling was flavorful and the crust was flaky.

These quiches were a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some extra seasoning next time.

These quiches are so delicious and easy to make. I love that I can use pre-made pie crusts to save time.

These mini quiches were a hit at my last brunch party! They were so easy to make and everyone loved them. I especially liked the creamy spinach and bacon filling.
