Cooking With Diva

Welcoming to cooking with Diva.

This is the first time I am posting one of my recipes on my blog because I have been asked before how to make it. So let me tell you how to make my favorite breakfast dish.....Spinach and Bacon quiche.

What you will need for this:

1 pack of frozen spinach

1/2 of a red and green pepper

1/2 a yellow onion

1/2 a cup of American cheese yellow or white

4 large eggs

6 slices of thick cut bacon

Pie crust (already made or make your own)

1/2 a tablespoon of parsley 

Salt & pepper of seasoning salt to taste

Allow your frozen spinach to defrost the night before or defrost in microwave. Strain out all the water and set aside. Chop up your onion peppers and set aside. 

On a slotted backing sheet or a foil lines baking sheet pop your bacon in the oven at 375 and bake until crisp. Once done place on plate lined with paper towel and allow the rest of the access grease to drain.

In a pan sauté onions and peppers together in a litte bit of oil. Just enough to cover the bottom of the pan. Cook the veggies until slightly tender and then add your drained spinach. Season to taste with either your s&p or seasoning salt.

Place your pie crust in pie dish( I like to use a glass one). Bake in oven at 350 but not until golden brown. You basically just want to blind bake your crust. Make sure to take a fork and make little holes all over bottom so that it does not bubble up when baking. Make sure to check it so that it does not get to brown then pull out the oven to allow to cool for a bit.

Once your bacon has drained, chop and then add to veggies. Place in pie shell and spread it evenly on the bottom. 

Take your four large eggs and season them. Add parse,y and beat the eggs. You can add a bit of milk just to make it a little fluffy if you like.

Pour your egg mixture over the spinach mixture. Don't worry it will spread thru your spinach mixture. Take your half a cup of cheese, I chose to use white cheddar cheese and spread over the top of filling. You can also take half of the cheese and mix in mixture and then use the rest to top. I have done it both ways.

Bake in oven at 350 or 375 until egg is fully cooked and cheese has melted. Make sure you check it you don't want crust to get to brown that it taste burnt. In the end you will have this final product. Let cool and then you can refrigerator for the next morning or slice right then. I feel like the flavors have time to really set in and it taste great the next day. Slice and heat up, have it with either a cup of coffee or tea and you have the most filing breakfast.

This usually last me the whole week or if shared with my brother when I am home lol maybe till Wednesday depending on when I make it. Otherwise it is filing and has not only your protein but veggies. I hope you give it a try and stay fab!
