The Ultimate Quiche
This Ultimate Quiche is perfect for special occasions. It makes two pies, so it's perfect for feeding a crowd, freezing a pie for the future, or sharing with another family!
Servings slices
Ingredients
- ½ pound bacon
- 10 ounce package baby spinach
- 1 cup sour cream light is fine
- Kosher salt and pepper to taste
- 2 unbaked pie crusts or store-bought
- 1 onion minced
- ½ pound diced mushrooms
- 2 cup diced ham
- 16 ounces shredded Colby Jack or sharp cheddar cheese
- 4 ounces shredded Parmesan cheese
- 8 eggs
- 1 cup half and half
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375℉. Cook the bacon. Reserve drippings, drain on a paper towel, chop or crumble, and set aside.
- Sauté spinach in bacon drippings. Add onions and cook until softened, then add mushrooms and parsley. Remove from heat and stir in the ham and bacon. Add the sour cream to the mixture and season with salt and pepper. Divide into each pie crust. Sprinkle the cheeses over the pies.
- Mix eggs and half and half. Pour over pies. Place pies in oven (on a baking sheet if they'll fit--it will keep any overflowing eggs from stinking up your oven). Bake 45-50 minutes or until tops are puffed and golden brown. Let stand 5-10 minutes. Each pie serves 8.
Notes
- Refrigerate: Cool quiche completely then wrap tightly in plastic wrap or foil. Store in the refrigerator and enjoy within 3-4 days for best results.
- Reheat: If reheating, cover pie with foil and bake at 325°F for about 20-30 minutes, checking frequently to make sure it’s not getting too brown. You could also pop it in the microwave, but individual slices do better in the microwave than an entire pie. Microwave in 20-30 second bursts, until heated through.
- Freeze: Wrap whole quiche or individual slices in plastic wrap and then foil. Freeze for up to 2-3 months. To reheat, thaw overnight in the fridge and then reheat as outlined above.
