Spinach and Bacon Quiche

A friend of mine made this, and I just had to have the recipe. And it is the best tasting quiche I have had in years. Never any complaints when I make it. Great for a fall/winter dinner with a cup of soup.

Ingredients

• 1 ½ cups shredded Cheddar cheese
• ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 6 eggs, beaten
• salt and ground black pepper to taste
• 1 ½ cups heavy cream
• ½ cup chopped green onion
• 2 dashes Worcestershire sauce
• 1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach - thawed, drained and squeezed dry
• ¾ pound sliced bacon
• 1 (9 inch) single refrigerated pie crust
• 5 dashes hot pepper sauce, or to taste

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Step 2

Place the bacon in a large, deep skillet, and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain the bacon slices on a paper towel-lined plate. Chop when cool.

Step 3

Fit the pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish, and set aside.

Step 4

In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, cream, salt, black pepper, Worcestershire sauce, and hot pepper sauce. Spread the spinach into the bottom of the pie crust; top with bacon, Cheddar cheese, and green onion. Pour the egg mixture over the filling, and sprinkle the quiche with Parmesan cheese.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven until the top is lightly puffed and browned, and a knife inserted into the center of the quiche comes out clean, 35 to 45 minutes.
