I've read through a lot of recipes to come up with my version of this quiche. I wanted to make one that is crustless and low carb, and this one is a WINNER! But once I start eating it, I just don't want to stop! I thought I could make it ahead so I could have a quick breakfast on work mornings, but this rarely lasts out the day it was made! Ingredients:
1 lb bacon |
1 large onion, chopped |
2 tablespoons butter, divided |
1 teaspoon olive oil |
10 ounces frozen spinach, thawed |
6 ounces swiss cheese, shredded |
6 eggs |
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream |
salt |
pepper |
Directions:
1. On a foil lined pan, cook bacon in 350 degree F. oven until crisp.
2. While bacon cooks, chop onion and shred cheese.
3. Heat 1 tablespoon butter and 1 teaspoon oil in skillet over medium heat. Add chopped onion, and stir to coat.
4. When onion turns glossy, add thawed spinach, and stir to mix. Heat about 5 minutes, then remove from heat to cool.
5. Remove bacon from oven, and place on a paper-towel lined plate to drain.
6. Stir together eggs, salt, pepper & heavy whipping cream in a medium bowl.
7. Add in cheese, onion/spinach mixture, and bacon. Stir thoroughly to mix.
8. Butter a glass pie plate or quiche dish, pour mix in, and pat evenly with a fork.
9. Bake in 350 degrees F. oven 25-30 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
10. Let rest 5 minutes before cutting & serving.
11. I bet you can't eat just ONE slice!
