SPINACH BACON QUICHE
My family loves quiche and we especially like this spinach bacon quiche. The bacon combined with spinach and cheese makes this a great dish and an easy fix, too.
1 (10 ounce) bag fresh spinach, finely chopped 1/2 cup onion, chopped (can use green onions) 4 eggs 1/2 cup milk 2 tablespoons butter or margarine, melted 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour 1/2 teaspoon baking powder 1/2 teaspoon black pepper 5 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese 1 tablespoon Parmesan cheese 1 (9 inch) pie shell In a large bowl combine chopped spinach, onion, eggs, milk and butter mixing well with a spoon. In another bowl whisk together flour, baking powder and black pepper. Add to spinach and mix with spoon. Fold in crumbled bacon and cheese. Pour into pie shell. Sprinkle top with Parmesan cheese. Bake in preheated 350 degree oven for 40 to 45 minutes. Let cool for 10 to 15 minutes before slicing. Makes about 8 slices. Enjoy!

I prefer to blind bake the crust before adding the filling the crust is never soggy and makes for a more enjoyable quiche Your recipe is delicious and will make again and again
I am making this for dinner for the second time. It is so good; it tastes like the quiche I would get from our deli that sold for $6 a slice! The only difference I did making it the second time was that I used frozen spinach in place of the fresh spinach, and only because it was easier. I have shared this recipe with family and I will keep this recipe with my family favorites! 5 Stars*****
Thank you so much Kathy! So happy you like the recipe and thank you for letting me know. Happy to have you on the site and hope you have a great week ahead.
Thank you!!! I appreciate the reply!!! Can’t wait to try it!!
Do you know if coconut flour or flaxseed meal could be substituted for the binding agent in the quiche?
Sorry, I don’t know Beverly.
I think this will be our Sunday dinner tonight, but I am gonna go outside and cut some collard greens to substilute for the spinacn. Will let you know how that turns out!
Can you substitute frozen spinach for the fresh if drained well?
I think you could do that Penny.
Do you know if this recipe would hold up without the crust? Looks wonderful but cannot have the flour
I have never tried it without the crust, Maria, sorry.
Looks too good not to give it a try, thank you for the reply
I do quiches all the time and pies without crusts. You just have to spray pan with Pam or grease it before you put quiche or pie into it. It comes out fine and a lot less calories, cholesterol and fat. Even my husband liked it without the crust. Give it a try. I did the one she posted last week without the crust in a pie plate sprayed with Pam and it came out fine. Good luck.
This is super yummy!!! Even my “manly” man loves it.
