Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
If using a store-bought pie crust, roll it out into a 9-inch pie dish, pressing it firmly into the edges. Trim any excess dough.
Step 3
Place the prepared pie crust in the refrigerator to chill while preparing the filling.
Step 4
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, and whole milk until well combined.
Step 5
Season the egg mixture with salt and black pepper, whisking again to evenly distribute the seasoning.
Step 6
Sprinkle the shredded Gruyère cheese across the bottom of the chilled pie crust.
Step 7
Evenly spread the cooked bacon, chopped spinach, and diced onions over the cheese in the pie crust.
Step 8
Pour the egg mixture over the fillings, allowing it to distribute evenly.
Step 9
Carefully place the quiche in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is slightly golden.
Step 10
Remove from the oven and allow the quiche to cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
