ingredients
- Refrigerated store-bought pie crust
- 1 cup milk
- 5 eggs, slightly beaten
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, swiss, asiago, etc.)
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup fresh baby spinach leaves, chopped (see notes for frozen spinach)
- 2–3 scallions, with green parts, sliced thinly
instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a 9-inch pie plate with store bought pie crust and crimp the edges.
- In a medium bowl, whisk milk, eggs, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
- Layer cooked bacon, cheeses, spinach and scallions in the crust-lined pie plate. Pour the egg mixture over the top. Bake 15 minutes in the oven at 425 degrees. Reduce the oven temperature to 325 degrees and continue to bake for another 20 to 25 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the middle comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes before cutting into wedges.
notes
If substituting frozen spinach, be sure to thaw first and then ring out as much moisture as possible. Too much moisture will lengthen the baking time. Also, if using frozen spinach, whisk it into the egg mixture so that it doesn’t clump together.
