Ingredients
- 1 9-inch tart shell, partially baked and cooled
- 1 1/4 lbs. ready-to-use baby spinach, trimmed and washed
- 4 strips bacon
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 large garlic clove, minced
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
- 2 large eggs
- 2/3 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan
Instructions
- Center a rack in the oven and preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Put the tart shell on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- To cook the spinach, fit a steamer basket into a large pot. Pour in enough water to come almost up to the steamer, cover, and bring to a boil. Add the spinach, cover, and steam just until soft and thoroughly wilted,about 4 minutes. Remove the spinach, drain, and run under very cold water to cool it and set the color.
- When the spinach is cool enough, squeeze it between your palms to get out as much moisture as you can. Coarsely chop or thinly slice spinach.
- Cook bacon until crisp on both sides. Drain bacon on paper towel. Cut bacon crosswise into thin strips.
- Drain off all but 1 tablespoon of the fat from skillet, return skillet to medium heat, add onion and garlic. Season onion and garlic with salt and pepper. Cook until soft about 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Add spinach and bacon bits to skillet, toss to blend.
- Turn the spinach-onion mixture into crust, spreading it as evenly as you can. Whisk the eggs and cream together until well blended and pour into the prepared shell. Sprinkle the top with Parmesan.
- Carefully slide the baking sheet into the oven and bake for 30 to 40 minutes, or until the filling is evenly puffed, browned and set. Transfer the quiche to a cooling rack.
