Don’t remember where the recipe came from but I get so many compliments on this quiche. It is so good and easy to make. I also change the main ingredients (spinach and bacon) from time to time and it still tastes great!

6 large eggs, beaten
1 ½ cups heavy cream
Salt and pepper
2 cups chopped, fresh baby spinach, packed
1 pound bacon, cooked and crumbled
1 ½ cups shredded Swiss cheese
1 (9 inch) refrigerated pie crust, fitted to a 9-inch glass pie plate

Preheat oven to 375.

Combine the eggs, cream, salt, and pepper into a food processor or blender. Layer the spinach, bacon, and cheese in the bottom of the pie crust, then pour the egg mixture on top. Bake 35 to 45 minutes or until egg mixture is set. Cut into wedges and serve.

Mini Quiche Variation

Take your favorite recipe for quiche filling and turn it into an appetizer for your family or breakfast for your toddler! The biscuit rounds are a good size, just peel into 2 or 3 layers each & fill with the mixture of your choice. Can be made ahead (and even frozen), then reheated on a baking sheet in the oven…microwaving not recommended.

Refrigerated butter flake biscuits (Pillsbury) that separate into layers.

Filling for Quiche (can use this or any recipe):
4 slices bacon
1/4 c Finely chopped onion
1 1/2 c Shredded cheddar cheese
4 Eggs slightly beaten
1 1/3 c Milk
3/4 t Salt
1/2 t Dry mustard
1/8 t White pepper
1/8 t Ground nutmeg


Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease/spray mini muffin tins & line each with a layer of biscuit dough.

Combine filling ingredients OR combine egg/milk/seasoning ingredients only.
Place small amounts of cheese, bacon, veggies, etc. on each quiche crust and top with liquid ingredients. OR, pour all combined ingredients into each quiche crust.
