Spinach Quiche with Turkey Bacon and Goat Cheese

Preparation

1. Step 1

   Prepare pie crust according to package instructions. We recommend using a 9-inch deep-dish pie pan. When finished pre-cooking according to package instructions, remove from oven and cool slightly.

   Step 2

   While crust is cooking, prepare ingredients: cook turkey bacon until crispy; drain, cool, and chop into small pieces; thoroughly wash baby spinach leaves and pat completely dry; chop and mix with bacon pieces; crumble goat cheese and set aside.

   Step 3

   Mix eggs, salt, pepper, milk, and half-and-half together in a small bowl; add spinach, bacon, and goat cheese. Blend well.

   Step 4

   Add egg mixture to pie crust and return to oven for 35 to 40 minutes or until eggs are completely set.

   Step 5

   Allow to cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.

2. Tip

   Step 6

   Add some fresh herbs and spices to give some depth to the flavor of this dish: onion powder, garlic powder, or even cayenne pepper (we recommend 1/2 teaspoon so they don’t overpower the flavors). Chop some fresh dill, cilantro, or parsley to brighten this up. Your local grocery store will have fresh herbs stocked in its vegetable sections.
