Ingredients
- 3 medium Russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 6 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup Chopped cooked bacon
- 1 cup Chopped fresh spinach
- 2 tablespoons Chopped green onions
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish or tart pan.
Step 2
Peel and grate the russet potatoes using a box grater, then place them in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much excess moisture as possible.
Step 3
In a medium bowl, combine the grated potatoes with olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Mix well to coat the potatoes.
Step 4
Press the potato mixture evenly into the greased pie dish to form a crust along the bottom and up the sides. Make sure the layer is compact and even.
Step 5
Bake the potato crust in the preheated oven for 20 minutes until it starts to crisp and turn slightly golden. Remove from the oven and set aside.
Step 6
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper until fully combined.
Step 7
Add the shredded cheddar cheese, chopped bacon, spinach, and green onions to the egg mixture. Stir to combine.
Step 8
Pour the filling into the pre-baked potato crust, spreading everything out evenly.
Step 9
Return the quiche to the oven and bake for an additional 25 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is lightly golden.
Step 10
Remove the quiche from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
