Ingredients

• 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 6 tablespoons cold water
• 6 large eggs
• 1.5 cups heavy cream
• 0.5 cup whole milk
• 2 cups shredded Gruyère cheese
• 1 cup cooked and crumbled bacon
• 1 cup baby spinach, chopped
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon nutmeg

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and a pinch of salt. Add the cold unsalted butter, cutting it into small cubes. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 3

Gradually add the cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough just comes together. Avoid overworking the dough.

Step 4

Roll the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.

Step 5

Roll out the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface into a 12-inch circle. Gently press it into a 9-inch deep-dish pie pan, trimming and crimping the edges as needed.

Step 6

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, and whole milk until fully combined. Stir in the salt, black pepper, and nutmeg.

Step 7

Layer the shredded Gruyère cheese, crumbled bacon, and chopped spinach into the prepared pie crust.

Step 8

Pour the egg mixture over the layers, filling the crust evenly.

Step 9

Carefully transfer the quiche to the oven and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown. A knife inserted into the center should come out clean.

Step 10

Remove the quiche from the oven and let it cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Step 11

Slice into wedges and enjoy your Deep Dish Eggy Quiche warm or at room temperature!
