Why This Recipe Is A Must Try

This quiche is a wonderful way to enjoy fresh vegetables in a creamy, savory pie. It’s light yet satisfying, making it perfect for any meal. The combination of spinach and courgette adds a fresh, slightly sweet flavor that pairs beautifully with the rich egg custard.

Smart Cooking Tips

- Make sure to squeeze out excess water from the spinach and courgette to avoid a soggy crust.
- Blind bake the pastry crust before adding the filling to keep it crisp.
- Use a sharp knife to cut the quiche once cooled slightly to maintain clean slices.

Directions

Heat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Roll out your pie pastry and press it into an 8-inch pie dish. Next, warm a skillet over medium heat and cook the bacon, stirring occasionally, for about 3 minutes. Toss in the onion, spinach, and courgette, and keep cooking everything together until the onion and courgette are soft, the spinach has wilted, and the bacon is fully cooked—this should take around 5 to 10 minutes. Once that’s ready, spread the mixture evenly over the pastry. In a separate bowl, whisk the milk, eggs, salt, and pepper until combined, then pour this over the veggies and bacon in the crust. Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese on top, then pop the quiche into the oven. Bake for about 35 minutes, or until the cheese is golden and the quiche feels springy when you gently press it. Let it cool a bit before slicing and serving.

Best Serving Ideas

Serve warm or at room temperature with a simple green salad or a side of roasted cherry tomatoes. A dollop of sour cream or a light drizzle of balsamic glaze can add a nice touch. It also pairs well with a chilled glass of white wine or sparkling water.

How To Store For Later

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave to keep the filling creamy. You can also freeze individual slices wrapped tightly in plastic wrap and foil for up to one month; thaw overnight before reheating.
