Ingredients

• 1 piece store-bought pie crust (or homemade, pre-baked)
• 6 pieces large eggs
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 0.5 cup whole milk
• 0.5 cup cooked bacon, chopped
• 0.5 cup cooked breakfast sausage, crumbled
• 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
• 0.25 cup green onion, chopped
• 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon paprika (optional, for topping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Roll out the pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish if using homemade. Prick the bottom with a fork and prebake for about 10 minutes to prevent a soggy crust. Remove from oven and set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, and milk until fully combined and frothy.

Step 4

Season the egg mixture with salt, black pepper, and paprika (if using).

Step 5

Evenly layer the cooked bacon, breakfast sausage, shredded cheddar cheese, chopped green onions, and spinach in the pre-baked pie crust.

Step 6

Carefully pour the egg and cream mixture over the fillings, ensuring it fills the crust without overflowing.

Step 7

Transfer the quiche to the oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden brown. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.

Step 8

Remove the quiche from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing to allow it to set further.

Step 9

Slice into wedges and serve warm or at room temperature. Pair with a fresh green salad or a side of fruit for a complete meal.
