Dough for Cheesy Spinach & Bacon Quiche

First things first, let's talk about the dough. I absolutely love using puff pastry for any type of quice I make. This is partly because I enjoy it so and partly because I love its tender, fluffy and flaky nature. The frozen puff pastry is my go-to because I can always keep it on hand for any other recipes I might choose to make. The particular brand I buy at the moment comes in two separate sheets this way you can easily save the other for later. For this recipe, I let one sheet thaw out and then gently peel unfold the dough before placing it in my pan.

How to layer Cheesy Spinach & Bacon Quiche

Anytime you make quiche you'll want to follow a specific procedure to ensure all of the ingredients are layered properly so here's the order I follow for this quiche:

First, start with the spinach so the heavier ingredients can lay on top so most of the spinach doesn't float to the top to burn. Next, add on the bacon, chives, and cheese then finish by pouring on the seasoned egg mixture.

About the cheeses

You can use any combo you want but I absolutely love the trio of Fontina, Gouda, and Sharp Cheddar for this brunch favorite. With a recipe packed full of cheese and bacon, this one's sure to please a crowd. Preheat your oven to 375 and you are ready to go!

Enjoy this Cheesy Spinach & Bacon Quiche!
