Spinach and Bacon Quiche

This 3 Cheese Bacon and Spinach Quiche is loaded with flavor. This breakfast pie is filling and delicious. Serve for breakfast or for brunch.

It had been a while since I made quiche so I LOADED this one up. I loaded it with cheese and bacon! I threw in some fresh spinach because there needs to be a vegetable right?

This 3 Cheese Bacon Spinach Quiche is packed with flavorful goodness I was full after one slice. The flavors of the bacon, onion, and spinach remind you of a pot of greens that have been simmering all day.

All the cheese with bacon and egg brings you back to those classic breakfast flavors. I can easily file this quiche under Comfort Foods.

Ingredient Highlights:

• Pie Crust – Honestly, I just use frozen pie crusts. Marie Callender frozen pie crusts to be exact. I use these crusts with my Sweet Potato Pies. I feel like so much work goes into making the pie fillings that the simple shortcut of using a good frozen pie crust makes life so much easier.
• Fresh Baby Spinach – Forget the frozen green brick! Fresh spinach is not only more nutrient-rich but also more flavorful. In this recipe, I use fresh spinach and wilt it in hot bacon grease – a simple, yet bold and tasty way to bring out its flavor. When you bite into this 3 cheese bacon spinach quiche, you’ll definitely notice the spinach paired with the bacon and onion, creating a wonderfully flavorful dish. So ditch the green brick
• Bacon (If you have a couple of pieces left over, try my deviled eggs with bacon)
