Do you ever have days when you don’t feel like cooking? That was me this past weekend. Sure, I had plenty of things I should be cooking but most of it was very time consuming and I knew I was starting to get sick. To make matters worse, I had an oversupply of eggs bought for the holidays, as well as bacon that ended up not being used. Since I don’t like wasting food, I was determined to find something I could make with all these ingredients. Seeing what I had in the kitchen, I went with the best thing I could think of – an impromptu quiche.
While I had various quiche recipes in the house, I didn’t have all the fancy ingredients in the house for most of them. Since I knew the basics of a quiche, I decided to just make a fun recipe from the top of my head, hoping to use what we had in the fridge. After quickly mixing everything together, I put it in the oven and hoped, using the normal temperature and cook time I had used for other quiches in the past. In all honesty, my husband was nervous but hoped for the best, knowing that worst case, I at least tried.
Once it was time for dinner though, we both were eager to try it. The end result, I must say, was truly out of this world. The right mix of flavor, cheesiness, and an amazing flavor that left us satisfied. Best of all, it was very filling, making it a perfect breakfast or dinner! With how great the recipe I turned out, I quickly grabbed my camera. I knew I had to share it with you guys. Not only is it one of the easiest quiche recipes I have ever made, but truly looked beautiful, making it a recipe to impress guests.
Love quiche? I’d love for you to tell me what you think of our Spinach and Bacon Quiche below, or to hear your suggestions for next time!
PrintSpinach & Bacon Quiche Recipe
An easy to make quiche recipe for the nights when you don’t feel like cooking anything too fancy.
- Prep Time: 10 mins
- Cook Time: 30 mins
- Total Time: 40 mins
- Category: Breakfast
- Cuisine: Quiche
Ingredients
- 1 Bake Yourself Pie Crust
- 6 strips cooked bacon, crumbled
- 4 large eggs
- 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
- 1 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon peppers
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 Package of frozen Spinach (thawed)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
- Prepare pie crust as directed. I use the Pillsbury pie crust (safe for those with corn allergies in my family).
- In a bowl, mix the eggs, cream, salt, pepper, and thyme. Make sure it is mixed thoroughly.
- Add the cheese and bacon to the egg mixture, mix thoroughly.
- With paper towels, dry the spinach of any liquid from the cooking process (I use the steam bag spinach that can be cooked in the microwave). Once dry, mix into the egg mixture.
- Pour egg and spinach mixture into the cooked pie shell. Bake for 30 – 35 minutes. When finished, poke it with a knife – it should come out clean.
- Allow to set for 30 minutes to an hour before serving.
I have always wanted to try to make a quiche. This sounds so good and easy enough that I can make it.
This sounds really good. I can’t eat bacon so I would probably substitute chicken. A chicken, spinach and onion quiche would be really great,
The recipe sounds pretty good. I’m not really fond of quiche. I would try this, but wouldn’t make it.
I did not care for eggs growing up but love spinach. This sounds absolutely wonderful and mouth watering.
I have never made quiche before. This looks so good. Want to try to make it.
This looks and sounds amazing
I haven’t found a quiche I did not like and I bet this one tastes great.
This is a great brunch recipe and I make it often.
Add a lot of onion,garlic,black cracked pepper,and hot pepper to this as well.I love it!
I love eggs SO much, these nice Spinach & Bacon Quiche Recipe looks so delicious. What a great beginning to any day, I can barely wait to try this nice recipe out.
I love a good quiche. Good flavors in this one.
It looks delicious!
I eat eggs often during the week. I will love making this and dividing it for several meals. Thanks.
Quiche is delicious hot or cold. To save some calories, you can also bake it without a crust in a well greased pan.
I know I would love this. Thanks for sharing.
Looks sO yummy…
..
I love quiche. It really doesn’t need fancy ingredients. I have put just some ham in it and it is just as good as when it took days to prepare. I love the spinach. It adds a nice nutritional value, and also looks beautiful.
This looks so good! Im always looking for new recipes to try. i have a feeling this would be a hit with my family.
Thanks for the recipe, this looks wonderful!
This looks scrumptious, I would love to make this. I think I would like to use Filla Dough (I think I spelled that wrong).
This quiche sounds delicious, definitely going to try it. Thank you for sharing this delicious recipe!
This looks fabulous! I can’t wait to make it–thanks!
Great recipe! And, an easy (and tasty) way to get some veggies in the kids! LOL
I always thought that a quiche would be really hard to make, but this recipe looks relatively easy – thanks for sharing.
I am so loving your recipe, I will surely have to try this one out. I have been wanting to make my own quiche,just never got around to making it, but I do love how easy your recipe here is.

This looks so good but I’d have to cut the recipe down because nobody in my house would eat it but me.
like the way you rock — pre made crust
love quiche and this one sound so good….. I just may have to make this for dinner this week
Maybe the spinach makes this super-healthy for you!
Love Quiche and this sound like a great recipe. Like when Quiche has bacon in it.
We love spinach! Definitely gonna make this! Pinned! Thank you!!!
I have made spinach quiches and this is the correct recipe, even if you did from memory. You can tweek it using some half and half for the cream or dill instead of thyme, etc.
This quiche looks so good! Thank you for sharing the recipe!
I made this a couple weeks ago it was so good. I have made again and used just spinch and cheese and it was good
Call me weird but spinach is my absolute favorite food in the world. I could eat it it everyday. I have never had quiche before and the bacon makes me wonder but I look forward to trying this.
This sounds yummy
I would love to try this quiche. I make one with spinach but haven’t used bacon in it. Sounds really good.
I am always looking for good quiche recipes — bacon makes it even better!

Yummy yum. I LOVE spinach AND bacon. I mean BACON! Heaven on earth! lol Looks like a great recipe.
Thank you for sharing. This looks very healthy. Me will give this one a try.
Id totally make this. Am so tired of the same brunch items for holidays or even weekends. I love that Quiche is a 1 stop meal that covers all the food groups. Great protein!
Your quiche sounds delicious! I love easy recipes like this, I definitely have days where I don’t feel like cooking too! 🙂 Thank you so much for sharing, I can’t wait to try it!
I like the ingredients but not the consistency of a quiche. I’d try this, but scramble the eggs and add a slice of Borden cheese.
I definitely have to try this out
Sounds so good I bookmarked it
This looks so delicious!! I am going to have to make this real soon!!
First of all….anything with bacon must be awesome! LOL. Second, who doesn’t love quiche? Just pinned so I can make this soon.
Omg, I am super hingry and this just cranked it up to full blast. I wish this was made in the last 10 minutes and was available for delivery. To me. Now.
I love spinach quiche but rarely have all of the ingredients to make it on hand. I can see I’ll have to add a few things to my grocery list, seeing your quiche has given me a craving for it! Thanks for sharing, I pinned it!!
I made something similar this morning for Brunch after church – there were NO left-overs!
This looks absolutely delicious! Could you use canned spinach instead of frozen?
Yum!! These look amazing & definitely want to try these!
Oh this is definitely a recipe I want to try! Sounds sooooo delicious. This is the type of recipe to try on a weekend morning.
Spinach & Bacon, what a combination, this looks so delicious. Thanks for sharing this recipe.
I have never made a quiche! Love quiche have ate many and bought more frozen. BUT I just may have to make this one.
I’ve never tried to make quiche before. I used to think it would be too eggy for me. But this is a great brunch item for guests!
My guys would love this recipe,dying to give it a try.
My family loves quiche! This looks very yummy!
Thank you for sharing. This looks great and I know my family would love it.
I have never tried to make a Quiche! This looks and sounds so good that I am going to try this recipe!
So easy and so delish!
Pinned your recipe to try at a later time. No cream, bacon, or pie crust in this house although I have everything else! Figures! I have an extra pack of spinach because I made spinach lasagna the other night. Love quiches!
I’ve only had quiche a couple of times in my life. One time I liked it and the other I did not. The one I liked had spinach and mushrooms in it.
So I know I would like this mushroom and bacon quiche recipe!! Two ingredients I love!
Thank you for sharing!
this sounds absolutely amazing! I am going to try a gluten free version of this recipe. make it my own! 🙂 I saw at our local whole foods that they sell gluten free bake your own crusts now!
I cant wait to try this recipe! It looks delicious. Thank you for sharing it!
This recipe will be perfect for tonight. I can already smell it cooking! Im writing up the list of ingredients now.
This recipe reminds me of the quiches that my grandmother and auntie used to make. Such fond memories of get-togethers. I have never tried it before with bacon, so this will make for a fun variation.
This looks delicious!
I usually make a ham and swiss cheese quiche, but I’m up for some adventure, this sounds good and certainly easy enough.
We make quiche often Spring through Fall because we buy an “egg share” from a local farm (we pick eggs up every Saturday April through October). Your bacon/spinach recipe looks easy and yummy! Thank you for sharing it here.
I love spinach! I would love this!
I just had to pin so I can try this. I never tried making one and thought they may be difficult to make but this isn’t bad at all and looks delicious.
This is a great recipe! I’ve made something similar before, but never thought of adding bacon!
I would like to try this recipe. I think that this would be great.
I love quiche! This recipe is different from my old stand by recipe, so I have to try this.
This looks delicious! I should treat myself and make one for me, I know hubby won’t eat it but I would.
@tisonlyme143
I am a big fan of quiche and this one looks and sounds good.
Sometimes I just do a dump quiche a little bit of this and a little bit of that nice way to get rid of those leftovers.
I never had quiche before. I am going to try to make this. It sounds delicious.
This looks absolutely fantastic. I bet it tastes as good as it looks. I love quiche and this would be a great Sunday or weekend meal.
Thank you for sharing. It looks delicious. I do like spinach so this is something that I would try.
I never had quiche .. it looks easy and yummy. I got to save this onto my Pinterest to make it on the weekends.
I have not had quiche is such a long time! I am craving it and will try this recipe.
This looks really good. I am going to share this recipe with the people I know.
I definitely have days where I don’t want to cook too. This looks so good though! I’d love to try it without the bacon… wonder if my kiddos would eat it.
We haven’t had quiche in years. Not that we don’t like it, just forgot about it! This looks so good, it would be nice to have even for company. I want to try it!
This is such a great recipe. I love quiche. This is nice for me to take to work and heat up when I am hungry. Thank you so much for sharing
I’ve always been intimidated to make a quiche, but this looks like an easy and delicious recipe. Plus, it contains bacon, so it has to be good.
Something my dad would like, very filling quiche.
The bacon makes this a must-try recipe. I always wanted to make one, but I have hesitated. Now, the bacon will be the motivation! Thanks! It’s all pinned here!
Love this quiche. We have been enjoying it here 🙂
This is just like the quiche that my grandmother and auntie used to make! I plan on varying the recipe a little by substituting ham for the bacon. I may even get creative and add mozzarella!
This sounds soooo delicious. Will definitely have to make it.
