Tomato Bacon Spinach Quiche

Something that I enjoy greatly but don’t bake often enough is quiche. Quiche is a pretty versatile meal. You can make it with just about any meat or veggie and it’s great for breakfast, lunch or dinner. The typical quiche that I prepare consists of ham, onion and swiss cheese. Last night I decided to go outside the box and make a different type of quiche. I had leftover pie crust dough from a recipe I made last week (not a homemade pie dough, this one was store bought) as well as some bacon and frozen spinach. I decided to make a Tomato Bacon Spinach Quiche to give us dinner and perhaps breakfast for a couple of days. All I had to get was a tomato and some more shredded cheese (which happened to be BOGO free at my grocery store this week!) This quiche turned out pretty good. I will definitely make it again. The addition of the tomatoes really paired well with the spinach and bacon. I hope you enjoy this recipe.

  43. I have made a lot of quiche recipes but this one has been the best so far. Very fluffy and excellent taste.

  44. Would this work with fresh spinach that has been wilted?

  45. Can this recipe be frozen? Or any ways you would recommend to prep parts ahead of time? Thanks!

  48. This quiche is AH-mazing! I made it for work and everyone loved it! I doubled the bacon since we have quite a few meat lovers and it was great. It also looks super pretty with the tomatoes on top!

    • Hi Kristi,

      Thank you for stopping by to let me know you enjoyed the recipe! Doubling the bacon was a great idea because BACON! Glad you enjoyed the recipe. :)

      • Julie first try at making this looks yummy! Question though you said you can freeze this? I’m making now for the AM best to freeze or make now and warm up in morning

        • Hi Carmen,

          I have never frozen this recipe. The only freezing mentioned in the recipe is to freeze the pie crust for 15 minutes before baking. If you’re preparing and baking tonight, I suggest refrigerating and reheating in the morning. I hope this helps. Please do let me know if you have any other questions. :)

  50. Hi Julie! I was hoping you could possibly help me out with a few questions I have.
    I am working on an informative speech and picked this delicious quiche recipe to demonstrate.
    But I need to cite it in order to give you credit. It needs to be in APA Format. So, I need your last name if you can provide it for me and the year in which you created/ posted this recipe. Thank you!!!

  51. I’m a vegetarian so I made the quiche with vege bacon, almond milk, a soy creamer, and vegan cheese. It’s wonderful!.

  52. I made this with a spaghetti squash crust — delicious!

  53. This is delicious! My grown daughter requests it every year for her birthday brunch. Thank you for sharing it on pinterest.

  54. Made this last week for our Thursday night dinner. I only used the whole milk and not the half and half. Added 3 extra eggs from our hens….and used Monterey Jack cheese for both cheeses. Less fat calories from the cheese that way. And fresh homegrown tomatoes. My husband loved it. I served it with a fresh green salad.

  58. Hi my pie crust slides down the sides of my pie dish when it gets baked by itself, any suggestions?

    • No, I am not sure how to stop that. I have the same issue but it doesn’t slide too much.

    • Hi, I know I’m about 6 months late on this, but the way to stop the shrink is with pie weights. I just use parchment paper, with the contents of an uncooked bag of beans on top. Also pressing your crust into the sides and bottom of the pan will help reduce shrinkage. I’m lucky I was using store bought crust, and was able to grab the second one out of the freezer to try again. I should’ve known better, but I thought freezing the pie crust in the pan would prevent this problem, but it wasn’t enough for mine. The quiche smells good in the oven, I’m looking forward to having it for dinner :-)
