Recipe Box, Loaded Spinach & Artichoke Quiche
When you don’t know what to make for dinner, make a quiche!
Quiche makes a delicious one dish meal
Plus you can make it ahead of time
and bake it when you’re ready
This one is loaded with fresh spinach, artichoke hearts, corn,
onions, bacon [not pictured], ham and cheese
You can make it in the time it takes to cook the bacon
Begin by putting the bacon on a parchment paper lined sheet pan
Bake it in a 400 degree oven and while it is cooking,
chop the onion and cut the ham
Saute the onions and when they are almost done
add the garlic and ham and let it cook for a minute or two
Next in goes the spinach
Turn the burner off, cover the pan and let it sit for a couple of minutes
Uncover and stir the wilted spinach into the onions and ham
Now stir in the corn and artichokes
Put the pie crust into a deep pie dish, pleat the edges to fit,
and spread bottom with dijon or Honeycup mustard
Add 1/2 of the sauteed vegetable mixture
Check the bacon after 15 minutes,
and continue cooking for 2-5 minutes until it is crispy
Drain it on paper towels
Break bacon into 1 inch pieces
Put half of the bacon and cheese on top of the vegetables in the dish
Repeat layers
At this point you can cover the dish
and refrigerate it for baking later
When ready to bake, put it on a sheet pan
Beat the eggs, stir in the milk, and slowly pour it over the quiche,
letting the liquid seep down into all the nooks and crannies
Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour,
check, and if it still is runny in the center,
continue to bake for 5-10 more minutes
Remove from oven and let it sit for 15 minutes
to set completely before cutting
Cut into wedges to serve

How much milk? How many eggs? This looks like a wonderful recipe & I will be making it soon. Thanks!
Oh, thank you Charlotte, sorry! 1 cup milk and 4 eggs, I just fixed the recipe~Thanks so much for letting me know!
I love quiches, especially making them ahead of time for company breakfasts. I underbake them, then refrigerate. In the morning, I can pop it back in the oven and finish baking. Your recipe looks wonderful. I like the addition of spinach. Yum!
Oh that’s a great idea, I’ll have to try that, thanks!
Jenna, you have packed so many yummy ingredients into this quiche. It looks scrumptious! Thanks so much for sharing! Have a wonderful day!
Thank you Shannon, I love to make quiche, so many possibilities!
I love a quiche for breakfast or dinner. Jenna this has amazing ingredients so I am sure it tastes amazing. Thank you for sharing, I will pin and make this!
Thank you Pam, I hope you enjoy!
Jenna, I pinned this. This is a dish that’s so easy to make and it would go great with a salad for dinner.
Thank you Julie, yes it’s great with a side salad for dinner. Have a great weekend!
Quiche is always a big favorite at our house – this recipe looks yummy!
Thanks Mary, I love to make quiche!
I KNOW I would love this. Funny, but it brought up a very old memory and a recent one. The old one–suddenly I was a young mom in Marie Callender’s in Austin falling in love with my very first quiche ever. Just a week ago I was attending my oldest granddaughter’s graduation celebration. My daughter made sliders with an artichoke & spinach filling (and I assume cream cheese). It reminded me of something you would make. Everyone bragged on it and the nice thing was she made it especially to accommodate the younger sister who finds herself post lockdown not liking meat or eggs. At any rate, I know your quiche is delicious.
Thank you Linda! I have a fond memory of my first quiche too, I was dining with my dad at a fancy Los Angeles restaurant and had quiche Lorraine~ I was in love! The sliders sound so good, I have pinned a spinach & artichoke slider recipe, and after your enjoyment of one, I must try it soon!
Your quiche is filled with such amazing ingredients! I am going to pin this recipe. I often make frittatas as I usually like to save on calories or I don’t have pie crust.
Thanks for the delicious share!
Thanks Nancy, you could make this without pie crust, just add 2 more eggs~
Thank you Jenna! By the way, I don’t know for sure if you saw my reply a few days ago. Your sister and brother in law live in the same suburb as we do! Anthem!
Oh my goodness, really?? That is crazy crazy!!
So you need to come visit but not in the summer when its hot. Lol!
My sister is used to the heat, she move to AZ from Palm Desert!
How nice. But still wait until we are always in town… lol!
Your quiche is loaded with all kinds of yummy ingredients! I haven’t had quiche in ages. Happy Friday. ♥
