“Quiche Recipe”

Ingredients

  • 7-8 strips of bacon
  • 1/2 large yellow or white onion finely diced
  • Pinch of salt 
  • 2 large handfuls of chopped leafy greens
  • 1 cup milk
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 egg while
  • 1 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 dash of cayenne pepper
  • A few turns of freshly ground pepper
  • 2 tablespoons picked thyme
  • 1 9- inch store bought or homemade tart crust

Instructions

  • Preheat the Oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Cook the bacon in a frying pan until crisp. Let it cool on a paper towel-lined plate. Once cool, roughly chop it up.
  • Add the diced onion to the bacon fat. Season to taste with salt to help release the juices. Cook until the onion has softened and is lightly browned.
  • Add the chopped leafy greens at the end and saute until soft and wilted. Remove it from the heat and set it aside.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs and egg white.
  • Add the bacon, onions, greens, thyme, nutmeg, cloves, paprika, cayenne, and pepper. Pour the mixture into the pie crust.
  • Bake the quiche for about 40 minutes. The edges should be golden brown and the center should feel just set. 
  • Remove the quiche from the oven and let it cool on a rack.
  • Serve warm, or at room temperature. Refrigerate any leftovers by covering in plastic wrap.
