Ingredients
Scale
- 6 eggs
- 1/4 cup half and half
- 1/2 tablespoon hot sauce
- 1/4 cup sliced green onion
- salt and pepper, to taste
- 1/2 tablespoon avocado oil
- 6 slices thick cut bacon, diced
- 1/2 cup diced yellow onion
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups fresh baby spinach, chopped
- 1 – 9inch pie crust, I used Wholly Wholesome pie crust
- 1/2 cup shredded white sharp cheddar cheese (shredded off the block, not pre-shredded)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Add the eggs, half and half, hot sauce, green onion, salt, and pepper to a large mixing bowl. Whisk together until well combined and set aside.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the diced bacon. Cook the bacon for 4-6 minutes or until crisp. Remove the bacon from the skillet and drain on paper towels. Remove all but 1/2 tablespoon of bacon fat from skillet and lower the heat to medium.
- Next add the garlic and onion. Sauté for another 3-5 minutes until the onion is translucent.
- Add the baby spinach to the skillet, sauté for one minute until the spinach is wilted, and then remove the skillet from the heat. Add the bacon back to the skillet and stir until well combined.
- Transfer the bacon and spinach mixture into the pie crust and then top with shredded sharp cheddar cheese.
- Pour the egg mixture evenly over the quiche filling. You may need to spread the green onion out a bit evenly. Bake the quiche at 400 degrees for 25-30 minutes until the crust is golden brown and the egg is set.
- Remove from the oven and let sit for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
