Do you ever have days when you don’t feel like cooking? That was me this past weekend. Sure, I had plenty of things I should be cooking but most of it was very time consuming and I knew I was starting to get sick. To make matters worse, I had an oversupply of eggs bought for the holidays, as well as bacon that ended up not being used. Since I don’t like wasting food, I was determined to find something I could make with all these ingredients. Seeing what I had in the kitchen, I went with the best thing I could think of – an impromptu quiche.

While I had various quiche recipes in the house, I didn’t have all the fancy ingredients in the house for most of them. Since I knew the basics of a quiche, I decided to just make a fun recipe from the top of my head, hoping to use what we had in the fridge. After quickly mixing everything together, I put it in the oven and hoped, using the normal temperature and cook time I had used for other quiches in the past. In all honesty, my husband was nervous but hoped for the best, knowing that worst case, I at least tried.

Once it was time for dinner though, we both were eager to try it. The end result, I must say, was truly out of this world. The right mix of flavor, cheesiness, and an amazing flavor that left us satisfied. Best of all, it was very filling, making it a perfect breakfast or dinner! With how great the recipe I turned out, I quickly grabbed my camera. I knew I had to share it with you guys. Not only is it one of the easiest quiche recipes I have ever made, but truly looked beautiful, making it a recipe to impress guests.

Love quiche? I’d love for you to tell me what you think of our Spinach and Bacon Quiche below, or to hear your suggestions for next time!

An easy to make quiche recipe for the nights when you don’t feel like cooking anything too fancy.

  • Author: Susan Bewley
  • Prep Time: 10 mins
  • Cook Time: 30 mins
  • Total Time: 40 mins
  • Category: Breakfast
  • Cuisine: Quiche

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 Bake Yourself Pie Crust
  • 6 strips cooked bacon, crumbled
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon peppers
  • 1/2 teaspoon of salt
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 Package of frozen Spinach (thawed)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
  2. Prepare pie crust as directed. I use the Pillsbury pie crust (safe for those with corn allergies in my family).
  3. In a bowl, mix the eggs, cream, salt, pepper, and thyme. Make sure it is mixed thoroughly.
  4. Add the cheese and bacon to the egg mixture, mix thoroughly.
  5. With paper towels, dry the spinach of any liquid from the cooking process (I use the steam bag spinach that can be cooked in the microwave). Once dry, mix into the egg mixture.
  6. Pour egg and spinach mixture into the cooked pie shell. Bake for 30 – 35 minutes. When finished, poke it with a knife – it should come out clean.
  7. Allow to set for 30 minutes to an hour before serving.

  1. I have always wanted to try to make a quiche. This sounds so good and easy enough that I can make it.

  2. This sounds really good. I can’t eat bacon so I would probably substitute chicken. A chicken, spinach and onion quiche would be really great,

  3. The recipe sounds pretty good. I’m not really fond of quiche. I would try this, but wouldn’t make it.

  4. I did not care for eggs growing up but love spinach. This sounds absolutely wonderful and mouth watering.

  10. I love eggs SO much, these nice Spinach & Bacon Quiche Recipe looks so delicious. What a great beginning to any day, I can barely wait to try this nice recipe out.



  13. I eat eggs often during the week. I will love making this and dividing it for several meals. Thanks.



  14. Quiche is delicious hot or cold. To save some calories, you can also bake it without a crust in a well greased pan.

  17. I love quiche. It really doesn’t need fancy ingredients. I have put just some ham in it and it is just as good as when it took days to prepare. I love the spinach. It adds a nice nutritional value, and also looks beautiful.

  18. This looks so good! Im always looking for new recipes to try. i have a feeling this would be a hit with my family.

  20. This looks scrumptious, I would love to make this. I think I would like to use Filla Dough (I think I spelled that wrong).

  26. This looks so good but I’d have to cut the recipe down because nobody in my house would eat it but me.

  27. like the way you rock — pre made crust

    love quiche and this one sound so good….. I just may have to make this for dinner this week

  31. I have made spinach quiches and this is the correct recipe, even if you did from memory. You can tweek it using some half and half for the cream or dill instead of thyme, etc.



  33. I made this a couple weeks ago it was so good. I have made again and used just spinch and cheese and it was good



  34. Call me weird but spinach is my absolute favorite food in the world. I could eat it it everyday. I have never had quiche before and the bacon makes me wonder but I look forward to trying this.



  36. I would love to try this quiche. I make one with spinach but haven’t used bacon in it. Sounds really good.

  47. First of all….anything with bacon must be awesome! LOL. Second, who doesn’t love quiche? Just pinned so I can make this soon.

  48. Omg, I am super hingry and this just cranked it up to full blast. I wish this was made in the last 10 minutes and was available for delivery. To me. Now.

  60. I have never tried to make a Quiche! This looks and sounds so good that I am going to try this recipe!

  62. Pinned your recipe to try at a later time. No cream, bacon, or pie crust in this house although I have everything else! Figures! I have an extra pack of spinach because I made spinach lasagna the other night. Love quiches!



  63. I’ve only had quiche a couple of times in my life. One time I liked it and the other I did not. The one I liked had spinach and mushrooms in it.
    So I know I would like this mushroom and bacon quiche recipe!! Two ingredients I love!
    Thank you for sharing!

  64. this sounds absolutely amazing! I am going to try a gluten free version of this recipe. make it my own! 🙂 I saw at our local whole foods that they sell gluten free bake your own crusts now!

  66. This recipe will be perfect for tonight. I can already smell it cooking! Im writing up the list of ingredients now.

  67. This recipe reminds me of the quiches that my grandmother and auntie used to make. Such fond memories of get-togethers. I have never tried it before with bacon, so this will make for a fun variation.



  69. I usually make a ham and swiss cheese quiche, but I’m up for some adventure, this sounds good and certainly easy enough.

  70. We make quiche often Spring through Fall because we buy an “egg share” from a local farm (we pick eggs up every Saturday April through October). Your bacon/spinach recipe looks easy and yummy! Thank you for sharing it here.



  72. I just had to pin so I can try this. I never tried making one and thought they may be difficult to make but this isn’t bad at all and looks delicious.

  76. This looks delicious! I should treat myself and make one for me, I know hubby won’t eat it but I would.
    @tisonlyme143



  77. I am a big fan of quiche and this one looks and sounds good.

    Sometimes I just do a dump quiche a little bit of this and a little bit of that nice way to get rid of those leftovers.



  79. This looks absolutely fantastic. I bet it tastes as good as it looks. I love quiche and this would be a great Sunday or weekend meal.



  80. Thank you for sharing. It looks delicious. I do like spinach so this is something that I would try.



  81. I never had quiche .. it looks easy and yummy. I got to save this onto my Pinterest to make it on the weekends.

  84. I definitely have days where I don’t want to cook too. This looks so good though! I’d love to try it without the bacon… wonder if my kiddos would eat it.

  85. We haven’t had quiche in years. Not that we don’t like it, just forgot about it! This looks so good, it would be nice to have even for company. I want to try it!



  86. This is such a great recipe. I love quiche. This is nice for me to take to work and heat up when I am hungry. Thank you so much for sharing

  87. I’ve always been intimidated to make a quiche, but this looks like an easy and delicious recipe. Plus, it contains bacon, so it has to be good.

  89. The bacon makes this a must-try recipe. I always wanted to make one, but I have hesitated. Now, the bacon will be the motivation! Thanks! It’s all pinned here!



  91. This is just like the quiche that my grandmother and auntie used to make! I plan on varying the recipe a little by substituting ham for the bacon. I may even get creative and add mozzarella!
