Spinach and Courgette Quiche

I love making this recipe. I was looking to use up what I had left in the fridge and now I make it all the time.

Ingredients

  • 1 pastry for an 8-inch pie crust
  • 6 slices bacon, chopped
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1 (10 ounce) bag fresh spinach
  • 1 courgette (zucchini), thinly sliced
  • 1 ½ cups milk
  • 2 eggs
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • ¼ cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Directions

Step 1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Press pie pastry into an 8-inch pie dish.

Step 2
Heat a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir bacon for 3 minutes. Add onion, spinach, and courgette to bacon; cook and stir until onion and courgette are tender, spinach is wilted, and bacon is fully cooked, 5 to 10 minutes. Transfer bacon-courgette mixture to the pie pastry.

Step 3
Beat milk, eggs, salt, and pepper together in a bowl; pour into pastry crust. Top egg mixture with mozzarella cheese.

Step 4
Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is browned and quiche bounces back when touched, about 35 minutes.

Cook’s Note:

This recipe works just as well with frozen spinach thawed as it does with fresh spinach.
