This is a winner of a quiche. So simple (yes, even the pastry..) and so delicious. There is nothing like the combination of fresh spinach and bacon. It's a match made in heaven and I never get tired of it. I'm a big fan of breakfast dishes and will happily eat things like omelettes for dinner, so I was very excited to try this elegant and eggy treat.
I love that Dorie calls for sautéing fresh spinach for this. It doesn't take much longer than defrosting a block of frozen spinach and the flavor and color are so vibrant. I could eat this every day. I'm always looking for ways to incorporate more greens into my diet and this is my favorite option so far....with bacon and a pastry crust!
Topped with grated Parmesan, this quiche has all of my favorite flavors: minerally greens; toasty, salty cheese; crispy, porky bacon bits, creamy custard and flaky, buttery pastry. This made an amazing week-night dinner for us this week next to a fresh salad of greens and tomatoes (that actually tasted good). Thank goodness for spring! If you would like to see how the other bloggers did with their quiche, visit French Fridays with Dorie and see what's next on the menu!

That is a beautiful filling. And yes, fresh spinach over frozen any day!
ReplyDeleteYour quiche looks colorful and delicious! I think posting on Blogger this time round was actually harder than baking Dorie's quiche ;-).
