Vegetable Bacon Goat Cheese Quiche

vegetable goat cheese bacon quicheOk, I know the name sounds weird, but I couldn’t think of anything more original. I threw all of this together on a Sunday night, because that was what was in the fridge… and it turned out surprisingly delicious. I made my own homemade crust, but you could use a store-bought one as well. The goat cheese makes this. Enjoy!

Ingredients:

  • Pre-cooked 9” pie crust, store bought or homemade
  • 1 small cooking onion, chopped
  • 3 cups lightly packed fresh baby spinach
  • 8 large eggs
  • ½ cup milk, cream, or half and half
  • ½ cup Greek yogurt or sour cream
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 1/8 tsp white pepper
  • 1/8 tsp dried dill
  • 2/3 cups grape tomatoes, halved
  • 6 slices cooked, chopped bacon
  • ½ – 2/3 cup crumbled goat cheese

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
  2. Saute chopped onion in oil (I used macademia nut oil) until translucent. Add spinach and sautee until wilted. Set aside.
  3. Lightly beat eggs. Add milk, yogurt, salt, pepper and dill.
  4. Stir in spinach and onion, tomatoes, and bacon.
  5. Bake for 45 minutes or until knife inserted in center comes out clean.
