healthy quiche recipe

This caramelized goat cheese quiche with spinach has rich flavors, a creamy filling, and a crisp, buttery crust. Perfect for brunch or weeknight meals!

Goat Cheese Quiche

9- inch pie crust

extra virgin olive oil

onion

baby spinach (roughly torn or chopped)

salt

black pepper

oregano

garlic (minced (about 1 teaspoon))

red pepper

goat cheese

2% milk

eggs

Chill

Get ready: Make your crust if needed and be sure it is well chilled for at least 1 hour. When ready to make the quiche, preheat your oven to 400 degrees F.

Roll

Blind bake the crust: Lightly flour your work surface and a rolling pin (if you don’t have a rolling pin, a wine bottle will work in a pinch). Roll out one crust into an 11-inch circle. Roll the dough away from you, rotating the dough a quarter turn every few rolls. Fit into a 9-inch pie dish and fold or crimp the edges as desired. (If doing the oil pie crust recipe, press the dough directly into the dish as directed).

Bake

Line the crust with aluminum foil or parchment paper (if using parchment paper, crinkle it up first so that it is easier to shape). Fill with dried beans or pie weights. Bake until the edges of the crust are beginning to brown, about 15 minutes.

Prick

Carefully remove the foil and beans (the beans cannot be eaten but can be saved for future pies). Prick the pie crust all over with the tines of a fork, then return to the oven and continue baking until the bottom is lightly browned, about 6 to 8 minutes more. Set aside to cool.

Reduce

Reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F.

Cook

Prepare the filling: Heat the oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-low. Add the onion and saute it slowly and gently.

Stir

Stir periodically, until it is completely tender caramelized, at least 30 minutes. Patience is key and will be rewarded!

Stir in the spinach a few handfuls at a time, until it wilts. Stir in the garlic, salt, pepper, and oregano. Let cook 30 additional seconds. Remove the skillet from the heat.

Whisk

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the milk and eggs. Fold in the spinach mixture, goat cheese, and red pepper.

Bake the quiche: Carefully pour the filling into the crust. Bake at 350 degrees F until the center is just set, about 45 minutes to 1 hour. To check for doneness, I like to insert a sharp knife in the center. It should look moist but not runny.

Serve

Let the quiche cool for 15 minutes. Slice and serve warm or at room temperature.

This easy and Healthy Spinach Bacon Quiche recipe is a fresh take on the traditional breakfast favorite! Made with a low-carb almond flour crust, it's perfect for your next brunch!

Healthy Spinach Bacon Quiche

almond flour

tbsp minced garlic

olive oil (or butter)

tsp salt

tsp pepper

water

olive oil

oz turkey bacon,

red onion,

bag fresh spinach, roughly chopped

Eggland’s Best eggs

almond milk (or milk of choice)

cheese, divided

Preheat oven to 350F and grease 9-inch pie dish.

In a medium sized bowl, mix together all crust ingredients until ball forms.

Press crust into pie dish evenly. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until slightly golden brown.

While crust is baking, saute onions and turkey bacon in olive oil on medium-high heat. Once cooked through, add in spinach until wilted. Turn off heat and let cool.

In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, 1/2 cup cheese, salt and pepper.

Add in turkey bacon mixture and pour into slightly cooled crust. It can still be warm, just not hot.

Add the remaining cheese on top and bake for 35-40 minutes or until no longer jiggly. A knife inserted into the center should come out clean.

Let cool 20 minutes before cutting into it.

Store leftovers in the fridge, covered in foil.

DELICIOUS! My family couldn't stop talking about how delicious this quiche was! I will definitely be making again!

Great recipe! The almond flour crust was delicious even my 4 kids approved! We’ve made this a few times with different fillings and all have been huge hits. Our favorite combo was pancetta, leeks and Swiss chard. Thanks for another amazing recipe Erin!!

140 Calorie Cheesy Sausage Quiche

milk*

cheese*

3-ounce cooked sausage links*

yellow onion, diced

green bell pepper, diced

clove roasted garlic, chopped

Tablespoons grated parmesan cheese

In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, egg whites, milk, salt, pepper, and shredded cheese together until thoroughly combined. Set aside.

Heat a 10 inch oven-safe skillet* over medium-high heat. A skillet larger in size will yield a thinner quiche. Spray the skillet with nonstick spray or lightly grease with olive oil or butter. Add sausage, onion, and garlic. Stirring frequently, cook for 5 minutes or until the sausage is a little browned. Add the green pepper and cook for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in the prepared egg mixture, then sprinkle with grated parmesan cheese.

Bake for 45 minutes or until filling is set and no longer jiggles. Cool for 10 minutes on a wire rack before slicing and serving. This quiche makes great leftovers. Store tightly covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

Just fyi: I used beyond sausage for a vegetarian version and it worked out beautifully!

Sally, you don’t say how to cut up sausage... slice? Chop up?  Please specify. Looks delicious... thanks
