Smokin' Ts Bacon Spinach Quiche
Ingredients
- 1 9-inch unbaked pie crust
- 8 slices bacon, cut into 1 inch pieces
- 1/2 cup chopped onion
- 1 pinch cayenne pepper, or more to taste
- 3 large eggs
- 2 egg yolks
- 3/4 cup heavy cream
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1 tsp chopped thyme
- 6 oz shredded Gruyere cheese
- salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 1/2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
- 1/4 cup Smokin' Ts Original or With a Kick
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
- Roll pie dough to fit a 9 inch pie plate. Bake in the preheated oven for 7 minutes or until golden brown, then remove.
- Reduce oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
- Cook bacon in a skillet over medium heat until browned and cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from pan to drain. Blot out some of the oil from the skillet, leaving 1 to 2 teaspoons. Add onion, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Cook and stir until mostly tender. Add spinach and stir until soft and onion is slightly golden. Set aside.
- Whisk eggs, egg yolks, cream, and milk together in a large bowl. Add thyme and Smokin' Ts. Stir to combine.
- Sprinkle 2/3 of onion-spinach mixture on the bottom of the baked crust. Top with 1/3 cooked bacon and 2/3 Gruyere cheese. Ladle in egg mixture carefully. Sprinkle with the remaining onion-spinach mixture, remaining bacon, and remaining Gruyere cheese.
- Bake filled quiche in the preheated oven until browned and set, and no longer jiggly in the center, 40 to 45 minutes. Allow to cool slightly before serving.
