Creamy Spinach Feta And Bacon Quiche Cups Recipes

SPINACH AND BACON QUICHE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Roll out one disc of pie dough into a circle, 12 inches in diameter. Place in 9 inch pie dish and crimp edges.
• Blind bake crust: Place a piece of parchment paper inside the pie pan and add 2 cups of pie weights, dry beans or rice. Bake at 375 degrees F for 15 minutes. Remove parchment paper and pie weights. Prick pie crust all over with a fork, then return to the oven for 8 more minutes.
• Meanwhile, cook bacon, in a skillet. Once cooked, remove to a plate and chop. Remove most of the grease from the pan and add onion and spinach. Saute for 2 minutes. Add cheese, onion, spinach, and bacon to the bottom of the partially baked pie crust.
• Combine the eggs, half and half, salt, and pepper in a blender, then pour the egg mixture into the pie.
• Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees. Bake quiche for 40- 45 minutes until the egg mixture is set. Allow to cool for 10 minutes, or even to room temperature, before slicing. Store leftovers, covered, in the fridge.

SPINACH AND BACON QUICHE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Place the bacon in a large, deep skillet, and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain the bacon slices on a paper towel-lined plate. Chop when cool.
• Fit the pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish, and set aside.
• In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, cream, salt, black pepper, Worcestershire sauce, and hot pepper sauce. Spread the spinach into the bottom of the pie crust; top with bacon, Cheddar cheese, and green onion. Pour the egg mixture over the filling, and sprinkle the quiche with Parmesan cheese.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the top is lightly puffed and browned, and a knife inserted into the center of the quiche comes out clean, 35 to 45 minutes.

BACON SPINACH AND FETA QUICHE

Steps:

• Place the flour and butter into a large bowl and use your fingertips to rub the butter into the flour. Continue until the mixture resembles bread crumbs.
• Slowly add the water and use a butter knife to combine.
• Turn the mixture out onto a floured bench and knead until the mixture comes together and is smooth. If your dough is too dry, add a little extra water.
• Cover the dough with cling wrap and place into the fridge for 30 minutes to chill. In the meantime you can preheat your oven to 190 degrees.
• Lightly dust a rolling pin and your bench with flour and roll the pastry out until it's approximately 3 - 4mm thick - use your pie tin (I used a 22cm one) as a guide to how big your pasty needs to be, you want to allow a 3cm border of pastry around your dish for the sides.
• Carefully place your pasty into your pie dish and gently press the pastry against the edges. Trim off any excess, but do leave approximately 1/2 cm of pastry hanging over the tin as it will shrink.
• Place a sheet of baking paper on top of the pasty and top with baking weights or rice. Cook for 14 minutes before removing the baking paper and weights and cook for a further 6 minutes.
• To make your quiche mixture, in a large jug combine the milk, eggs and salt and pepper and mix well.
• Sprinkle the baby spinach, bacon pieces, crumbled feta, onion flakes, tomatoes and grated cheese over the par-cooked pastry base and carefully pour the milk mixture over the top. Place into the oven and cook for 35 - 40 minutes or until golden on top and cooked through.
