Bacon Spinach And Feta Quiche Recipes

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.

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.

SPINACH & FETA QUICHE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375°F.
• In large skillet, saute onion and garlic in butter, app. 5 minuets or until just soft. Remove from heat.
• Stir in 6 oz. cheddar, the feta cheese, mushrooms, and spinach. Mix well; place into pie crust.
• In medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. Pour over spinach mixture, poking holes to allow the egg mixture to seep inches.
• Bake 15 minutes. Top with remaining 6 oz. cheddar, continue baking 40 minutes, or until knife inserted in center comes out clean.

CREAMY SPINACH, FETA AND BACON QUICHE CUPS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425° F and coat the cups of a cupcake pan with non-stick spray. Divide the hash browns evenly into the cups, about 2 tablespoons each, and bake until the edges begin to brown, 8-10 minutes.
• While the hash browns are baking, cook and crumble the bacon, set aside. Chop the spinach, set aside. In a mixing bowl add the eggs, cream, salt, sugar and cayenne, whisk until well combined.
• When the hash browns are done divide the bacon, feta, and spinach into the cupcake pan and then fill the cups with the egg mixture. Each cup should be almost full.
• Bake at 425° F for 5 minutes, and then reduce the heat to 375° F and bake for another 10-15 minutes, or until the tops begin to feel firm and an inserted toothpick comes out clean. Enjoy!
