Popular Substitutions & Additions
Add any of your favorite chopped veggies to this quiche! I like to add bell peppers for some extra crunch.
This bacon spinach quiche pairs well with a side of sour cream, and even a side of salsa for an extra kick.
Feel free to substitute your favorite kind of cheese in place of the mozzarella in this easy quiche recipe. Just make sure that you choose one that bakes well. I like to use pepper jack if I want to add a little spice.
Turkey bacon can be used in place of pork bacon. You could even use sausage or turkey sausage instead.
Storage & Reheating
This bacon spinach quiche recipe makes a great freezer meal! I like to make them in batches so that I have one for later. Before freezing, allow the quiche to completely cool down. Then cover in several layers of plastic wrap to prevent freezer burn. It will last in your freezer for up to 2 months.
While I like to enjoy this bacon spinach quiche when it is fresh, it also tastes good leftover. To store leftover quiche, make sure that it is in a sealed, air-tight container and place it in the fridge. It will last for up to 3 days if stored properly. Reheat individual portions in the microwave for 2 minutes or until warm. You can also reheat this quiche in the oven. Place it in an oven-safe pan and bake it at 350 degrees for 20 minutes or until warm.
Bacon Spinach Quiche Recipe FAQs
Can I use egg whites in this quiche instead of eggs?
Sure, for this quiche, you can use egg whites instead of eggs. You will want to double-check the measurements so that you are using the equivalent of 6 eggs.
Can I use canned spinach instead of chopped, fresh spinach in this quiche?
For this bacon and cheese quiche, you’ll want to use fresh spinach. There’s just something about the texture that isn’t the same when you use canned spinach.
Will the egg mixture make my pie crust soggy?
Nope! Because you have layered your solid ingredients, they help keep your crust from getting soggy. The eggs also cook so quickly that the liquid mixture doesn’t have time to soak into the crust enough to make it soggy.
Can I top this quiche with another crust?
No, you’ll only want to use one crust for this recipe. Another crust on top may keep the ingredients in the filling from cooking all the way through.

This gives me all the Sunday Morning feels! Would be awesome for a holiday brunch – like Christmas! Saved!
I adore this quiche! The addition of bacon keeps my guy so happy he doesn’t notice the nutrition boost from the spinach! LOL
I love love love quiche!! Especially one like yours which seems to have a not-too-thick crust, so more filling that is. I also love bacon sooo this has to happen.
You can never go wrong with bacon.
This is what I’m talking about! I’m hosting girls Sunday brunch this weekend and I’m totally making this. Thank you!
They will totally love this quiche.
Would this work without onions okay? My kids won’t eat onions.
Yes it would still taste great!
I love this recipe, I haven’t made quiche a lot, but this was the best.
I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
I absolutely love quiche, but had never made one of my own until now. This recipe was so easy to follow and absolutely delicious!!
I recommend using a deeper pie dish to ensure you have enough space for the filing. I upped the amount of green onions for my personal preference.
10/10 recommend and I’ve already shared it with numerous family members. This will definitely become a staple.
Thank you so much! I love lots of onions as well.
I was craving quiche & made this recipe. I made the mistake of trying to use frozen spinach instead of fresh. The quiche was delicious until you took a bite of the spinach that had settled to the bottom. It tasted nasty! Never again!
I’m sorry to hear you didn’t have good results with the quiche. Fresh spinach is definitely a better option when making this recipe.
I used frozen spinach and it was awesome , I squeezed out excess water and sautéed with mushrooms and onion . It was perfect !
I bet the mushrooms were so good in it.
Made this tonight and it was easy to do and delicious!!
I’m glad you liked it. Thanks for sharing!
My mom made quiche every year for Mother’s Day. Last year we didn’t really get to have family dinner because of Covid. And then she passed away in December. So this year my wife told me we needed to keep the tradition going. This recipe just made it into our family tradition. Thank you!
That is so sweet to keep the tradition going. I’m so glad you loved this recipe and that we can become part of that with this recipe.
The choice of mozzarella cheese seemed a little weird to me at first, but we followed the recipe as written and it was delicious!!
So happy to hear that you liked it. Thank you for sharing.
This is delicious! I made the Bacon & Spinach and a Veggie version. Substituted cheddar for the mozzarella and sautéed the veggies.
Sounds delicious, I love the addition of cheddar and sautéed veggies. Thank you for sharing.
The recipe looks great and I would like to make this on Saturday. I was wondering if you can make this the night before, put in fridge and bake in the morning? If so would you not add the cheese till you bake? I’d appreciate any answers! Thanks
Yes, you can make it the night before. The only thing that I would warn you about is it can make the crust stick to the pan.
Can 1% milk be used in place of half and half?
Yes, it will not be as thick and creamy, but it will work.
I didn’t have half and half, so I used a mixture of green yogurt and 1% milk. Still came out great! I’m sure it’d be even better with half and half too. Will make again!
I’m so glad your substitutions worked, thank you for sharing.
An I use whipping cream instead of half & half?
I have not tried heavy whipping cream, but you should be able to substitute it. The consistency might come out a bit thicker.
Great recipe! This has replaced an old quiche recipe that I used to use that didn’t include spinach. Next time I will cut back on the salt.
I’m so glad you loved it. Thank you for sharing.
I love making this quiche with a little modifications. I use a little more egg, a little less heavy cream and sub a shredded swiss/gruyere mix from Aldi. It gives it a little more of a savory taste and an amazing crusty cheese layer on top!
I’m so glad you love the quiche. Thank you for sharing your modifications.
I’m excited to try this recipe, but in other quiche recipes the pie crust is partially baked with a heavy aluminum foil or parchment paper and hard beans or rice placed on top of the foil. to prevent a soggy crust! Please can you explain why you dont recommend doing that.?
I have found that I haven’t had to place the pie crust in the oven before baking. If you prefer to partially bake it, it will turn out great.
It’s in my oven right now!!!
I hope you enjoy it.
This is so easy and delicious!! Christmas Brunch
Glad you loved it.
Can you use a frozen pie crust?
yes
I’m making quiche did the first time today as well. I used Cut da Carb flat bread for my crust. It’s in the oven now. I hope it’s delicious 😋
Excellent!!
I can’t even count how many times I’ve made this quiche my family love this. Thank you it’s awesome!!
Just WOW! This was so delicious! Will definitely be my go-to recipe for quiche!
Perfect!! This was soo tasty I followed the recipe exactly but did add a little sliced avocado on top. The consistency was great and the onion was a nice touch!
