Vegetable Bacon Goat Cheese Quiche
Ok, 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:
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
- Saute chopped onion in oil (I used macademia nut oil) until translucent. Add spinach and sautee until wilted. Set aside.
- Lightly beat eggs. Add milk, yogurt, salt, pepper and dill.
- Stir in spinach and onion, tomatoes, and bacon.
- Bake for 45 minutes or until knife inserted in center comes out clean.
