Ingredients
- Pie crust
- 1 (9-inch) crust
- Bacon
- 6 slices
- Fresh spinach
- 2 cups, chopped
- Cheddar cheese
- 1 cup, shredded
- Eggs
- 4 large
- Milk
- 1 cup
- Garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon
- Black pepper

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Carefully place the pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish, pressing it gently against the sides, and set aside.
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until they are crispy, about 6-8 minutes. Remove from the skillet, allow to cool slightly, and crumble into small pieces.
- In the same skillet, add the chopped spinach and sauté until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder until well combined.
- Evenly spread the crumbled bacon, sautéed spinach, and shredded cheddar cheese over the bottom of the pie crust.
- Pour the egg mixture over the filling ingredients in the pie crust, ensuring even distribution.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the quiche is set in the center and golden brown on top.
- Once baked, remove from the oven and let cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Tips
- For a twist, try adding diced tomatoes or bell peppers for added flavor and color.
- Substitute the cheddar cheese with feta or goat cheese for a different taste profile.
- This quiche can be made ahead of time and reheated; simply cover tightly and refrigerate.
