How to Make Bacon Spinach Quiche

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 6 large eggs, 1/2 cup milk, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  3. Add 1 cup shredded Norvegia cheese, 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella, 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 4 slices cooked bacon, chopped, 5 oz fresh spinach, 1 tablespoon dried chives, 1/2 teaspoon powdered onion, and 1/4 teaspoon powdered garlic. Gently combine all ingredients.
  4. Pour the mixture into a 9-inch pastry-lined quiche dish or unbaked pie crust.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
