This is the quiche recipe from the Casserole Crazy cookbook. I really liked this quiche recipe. I know a lot of people do not follow a recipe when making quiche. They just put in some eggs, milk, meat, and cheese. I like to use a recipe for quiche. I think you get better results when the egg to milk to meat ratio is measured. I think this is one of the best quiches that I have made.
The first time I made this recipe I made it with bacon. Last night, I made it with sausage and we actually thought it was better with sausage. But both ways are really good.
My husband said he like this quiche because it was a meaty and hearty quiche. Some quiches are a lot of egg and milk and not much meat and other filling. This will be the recipe I use most often for quiches. We really liked it.
Bacon, Egg, and Spinach Quiche
- 2 pie crust shells
- 5 eggs
- 3/4 cup of 1/2 & 1/2 or milk ( 1/2 and 1/2 is best but milk will work)
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 (10 ounce) package of frozen spinach, thawed and drained
- 8 strips bacon, cooked and crumbled 0r 1 pound of sausage
- 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place crusts in two 9 inch pie plate. Poke holes in the pie crust with a fork. Bake for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and set aside. In a bowl mix eggs, milk, and salt and pepper. Than add spinach, bacon, and 1/2 of the cheese. Place in partially baked pie crust and top with remaining cheese. Bake uncovered for 30 minutes or until filling is set.
Note: The author says that you can 1/2 this recipe to make just one quiche. You use 3 eggs if you 1/2 it.

Oh, yum!! I love quiche. I have a recipe that I love and you put sliced tomatoes and sprinkled parmesan cheese on the top. I think it has spinach in the middle. It’s a veggie quiche so i don’t think there’s any meat in it. I just got a small pampered chef muffin pan so I want to make some mini-quiches sometime.
Kirstin, mini quiches would be great. I have never done that. I am going to have to try it, now that you suggessted it. Thanks!
Oh, yum! I’m making quiche tomorrow. Have you made this without spinach? I’m the only one that eats spinach in our family.
What kind of crust are you using? The frozen kind in a pie pan or the fresh in the dairy case? Sounds like a yummy quiche we’re going to freeze for our cooking group. Does each one serve 4 or 6 people?
Jackie, I usually make my own pie crust. If I do buy it, I buy it in the dairy case. I don’t like the frozen ones very well. I prefer the dairy case ones by Pillsbury or the Wal-mart brand is pretty good. I hope that helps.
Sherry, I have not made this without spinach. My family likes spinach. You may need to add a little more meat if you left the spinach out or use another veg. or maybe mushrooms. The spinach adds some bulk, so I think you may want to replace it with something. I hope that helps.
