It doesn’t get much easier or tastier than making a quiche! Starting with a simple pastry crust then filling it with bacon, cheese, spinach and artichoke and all held together with eggs. Perfect for Breakfast, Brunch or Breakfast for Dinner!
How I created this bacon spinach artichoke quiche recipe
A few years ago I decided to conquer crusts. I had been at a blog conference that Martha Stewart spoke at and when someone asked her what her favorite crust recipe was she answered “it depends on the filling”. I had never considered having more than an american flaky pie crust in my arsenal and all of a sudden I realized there was more than one crust out there!
Crusts are something that not everyone feels comfortable and I decided to change that for myself. SO I went about learning everything I could about crusts. And I created this post with my 4 favorite crusts. The Pate Brisee crust doesn’t have any sugar so it’s perfect for savory dishes. I use it here in this quiche but also for my turkey and chicken pot pie recipes and anything else savory I make with a crust.
For the filling that was easy, bacon and cheese – check, then and some (lots of) garlic – then I decided to add spinach and artichoke (just like in my spinach artichoke dip I love these two together) . BUT the best part is its easy to change any of these ingredients up and create any quiche you’d like.

How to make the Perfect Quiche recipe
- Crust – you can use any crust you feel comfortable with – I like the pate brisee because it doesn’t have any sugar so it’s perfect for savory dishes. But you can also leave out the sugar in a crust recipe you love and use that
- Eggs – this party is simple – just use a whisk to beat them really good before you add the rest of the ingredients so you don’t get egg white chunk throughout the quiche – BUT don’t use a beater – you’ll over beat the eggs and they’ll have too much air and then volume
- Flavor – I stick with salt, pepper and garlic. I also like to use onion in my quiche – but you could easily use shallots, or green onions in place. You cold also sautee the onions first or even caramelize them for a different flavor
- Cheeses – you don’t have to add cheese – but why wouldn’t you!!! I use parmesan and Mozzarella but a good pepper jack would be good too! or an sharp white cheddar… Maybe I’ll make a simple cheese quiche one of these days! Mmmmm
- Fillers – Again I used bacon, spinach and artichoke hearts but you could do sauteed mushrooms too or instead of… seriously there are so many options here! just don’t over fill as you want there to be enough filling to egg ration to bind the quiche together! I’d love to hear what your favorite quiche ingredients are!

Sounds good, I make just a spinach quiche that I like it is a crustless quiche, and it is excellent, freezes great, heats up in microwave so easy…..

I have a spinach and herb frittata that I like with not crust. I will say I was surprised how much the crust added to the flavor!

Hi! We made this quiche Sunday night for friends and it was divine!! We just used the filling recipe but we didn’t add bacon and we doubled everything but the spinach (that’s A TON of spinach!) to make 2 pies. It cooked up beautifully and the flavor was perfect. I’m not usually big on leftovers, but we ate every last bit of what was leftover the next morning for breakfast. We used my grandma’s pie crust recipe (because a crustless quiche sounds like a mistake to me! jk jk).
Thanks for sharing! This filling’s a keeper.

well spinach shrinks when cooked, but I understand. glad you enjoyed it! and yes a crust-less quiche would be more like a frittata, not a quiche

Anxious to make your quiche. Can you substitute FROZEN CHOPPED spinach in this recipe? If so, how much? Is it not necessary to bake crust a few minutes prior to adding egg mixture?

yes, let it thaw and squeeze out any extra liquid before you add it.

Why wouldn’t I want to use cheese in this recipe? Perhaps because I have better things to do with my time than pending the next two days in the bathroom.
There are many of us who simply cannot digest dairy products.

Can this recipe be made a day or two ahead of time and just reheat it in the oven in the morning?

Yes it can! just put it in for a few minutes because it is only reheating not cooking again:)
