For a vegetarian option, omit the bacon and add a handful of chopped mushrooms or sun-dried tomatoes to the vegetable mixture. Feel free to experiment with different cheeses, such as Gruyere, Parmesan, or feta, to add unique flavors to your quiche. To prevent a soggy crust, you can blind-bake the pie crust for 10 minutes before adding the filling. Quiche can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, reheat before serving.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Gently press the pie pastry into an 8-inch pie dish. (5 minutes)
02
StepHeat a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped bacon and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 3 minutes until partially cooked but not yet crisp. Add the chopped onion, spinach, and courgette to the skillet. Cook and stir until the onion and courgette are tender, the spinach is wilted, and the bacon is fully cooked, approximately 5 to 10 minutes. Ensure excess moisture is evaporated. Transfer the bacon-courgette mixture evenly into the prepared pie crust. (15 minutes)
03
StepIn a mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, salt, and pepper until well combined. Carefully pour the egg mixture over the bacon-courgette filling in the pie crust. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the top of the egg mixture. (5 minutes)
04
StepBake in the preheated oven for approximately 35 minutes, or until the cheese is golden brown and the quiche is set. To check for doneness, gently touch the center of the quiche; it should bounce back slightly when touched. If the crust starts to brown too quickly, you can cover the edges with foil. (40 minutes)
05
StepRemove from oven and let stand for 10 minutes before serving.
