Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup shredded Gruyere or cheddar cheese
- ½ cup cooked bacon or ham chopped
- ½ cup chopped spinach
- ½ cup chopped onion
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat the Oven
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9-inch pie dish lightly with oil or butter. This prevents sticking and makes serving easier later.
Cook the Vegetables
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add chopped onion and cook until soft. Add spinach and cook until wilted. Remove from heat and cool slightly.
Prepare the Egg Mixture
- In a large bowl, crack the eggs. Add milk and heavy cream. Whisk well until smooth and slightly frothy. Add salt and pepper and mix again.
Add Fillings
- Stir cooked bacon or ham into the egg mixture. Add cooked onion and spinach. Mix gently so ingredients spread evenly throughout the mixture.
Add Cheese
- Add shredded cheese into the bowl. Stir lightly. Cheese will melt during baking and create a creamy texture inside the quiche.
Pour into Dish
- Pour the egg mixture into the greased pie dish. Make sure ingredients are evenly spread. Tap the dish gently to remove air bubbles.
Bake the Quiche
- Place the dish in the preheated oven. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes. The center should be set and not jiggly. The top will be lightly golden.
Cool and Serve
- Remove from oven carefully. Let it cool for 10 minutes before slicing. This helps it set properly. Slice and serve warm.
Notes
- Use fresh eggs for better texture.
- Do not overbake to keep it soft.
- Let it rest before slicing.
- Use good quality cheese for rich flavor.
- Drain vegetables well to avoid extra water.
- Whisk eggs well for fluffy texture.
