This lovely quiche is loaded with smoky bacon, cherry tomatoes, baby spinach, and sharp white cheddar cheese, all the delicious flavors of a BLT sandwich!
Servings: 8 slices
Ingredients
- 8 slices thick-cut smoked bacon cooked & crumbled, reserving 1/4 cup for topping
- 1 c. quartered cherry tomatoes
- 1 1/2 c. shredded sharp white cheddar
- 6 lg. eggs
- 1 1/2 c. heavy cream
- 1/2 tsp. kosher salt
- 1/4 tsp. black pepper
- 1 (9-inch) deep dish frozen pie crust or homemade
- 2 c. fresh baby spinach
Instructions
- Cook, drain, and crumble the bacon. Quarter the cherry tomatoes. Shred the cheese; set those ingredients aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, cream, salt, and pepper until well combined and smooth.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil. Place the pie dish lined with crust on the prepared baking sheet. Dock the bottom of the crust a few times and set aside.
- Begin by layering 1/3 of the spinach, crumbled bacon, tomatoes, and cheese into the pie crust, repeat for a total of 3 layers. Slowly, pour the egg mixture evenly over the ingredients allowing each addition to seep into the holes. Sprinkle with the reserved 1/4 cup crumbled bacon.
- Bake for about 45 minutes or until quiche is set in the middle and crust is golden brown. Remove from the oven and let sit for at least 30 minutes before slicing and serving warm or chill for a few hours and serve cold.
