The easiest homemade quiche (using store-bought pie dough) with a creamy silky custard and a flaky golden brown crust. Make with any filling!

Ingredients

  • 1 (14.1-ounce) package rolled pie dough
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 ¼ cups half and half
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 8 slices bacon, diced
  • 12 ounces baby spinach, coarsely chopped
  • 4 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 6 ounces freshly grated Gruyere cheese

Equipment

Instructions

  • Unroll both pie doughs on a lightly floured surface. Brush 1 pie dough lightly with 1 1/2 teaspoons water. Place remaining pie dough on top, rolling to a 15-inch circle.
  • Using a sharp knife, trim dough to a 12-inch circle, discarding the trimmings or rolling for another use.
  • Transfer dough to a 10-inch quiche dish, pressing in the bottom and up the sides, folding the excess dough into the sides of the dish. Lightly press and crimp the edges around the dish.
  • Using a fork, pierce the bottom of the dough. Place in the freezer for 10 minutes.
  • Arrange an oven rack on the lowest part of the oven and preheat to 375 degrees F. Line the pie crust with parchment paper, filling with pie weights.
  • Place into oven and bake for 5 minutes; let stand 5-10 minutes before removing pie weights and parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, half and half, flour, Dijon, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.
  • Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium high heat. Add bacon and cook until brown and crispy, about 6-8 minutes. Drain excess fat, reserving 1 tablespoon in the skillet; transfer bacon to a paper towel-lined plate.
  • Working in batches, add spinach, and cook, stirring occasionally, until wilted and excess liquid has evaporated, about 5 minutes. Stir in green onions; remove from heat.
  • Stir in bacon; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Let cool 5-10 minutes.
  • Add spinach mixture evenly into the pie crust; sprinkle with cheese.
  • Pour egg mixture into the pie crust.
  • Place into oven and bake until the crust is golden brown, and the center is almost set and jiggling slightly, about 40-45 minutes.
  • Let stand 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm, at room temperature or cold.
