baconspinachquichepuffpastryPuff Pastry Quiche with bacon and spinach is a delicious breakfast your family will love. Made without cream, this quiche with puff pastry is even better than a regular pie crust and its done in just 25 minutes.

1 (14 oz) sheet puff pastry, thawed (400 g)
2 cups baby spinach, washed and sautéed
1 shallot, diced and sautéed
4 slices bacon, cooked and roughly chopped
6 large eggs, whisked
1 cup heavy cream
½ cup cheddar cheese, freshly grated
1 tsp. sea salt
½ tsp. black pepper, freshly ground

Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C/200°C fan, Gas Mark 7). Lightly grease a pie plate with butter.

Carefully roll the puff pastry out onto the pie plate. Trim the pastry to the edge of the pie plate and use extra to fill in any holes. Use a fork to poke several holes in the bottom of the pastry. Crimp pastry around the pie plate. Blind bake the pastry (with no ingredients) for 10 minutes.

Remove the crust from the oven and add cooked veggies and bacon to the crust, spread evenly.

Whisk the eggs and cream until incorporated and smooth. Pour the eggs mixture over the pie ingredients and sprinkle with seasoning and cheese.

Reduce the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C/170°C fan, Gas Mark 5) and bake for 20-30 minutes or until fully set on top with no jiggle. Allow it to cool slightly before cutting into individual slices.

Makes 8 servings.

Cook's Notes:

  • Do not forget to poke the crust with a fork to create holes to allow steam to escape.
