There is something so comforting about a warm quiche in the morning. I love this version because the sweetness of the roasted butternut squash pairs perfectly with the salty crunch of bacon and the earthiness of fresh spinach.

Since this is a crustless quiche, it is much lighter and easier to whip together on a busy morning. It is a wonderful option if you are trying to keep things a bit healthier, and it holds up perfectly in the freezer for when you need a quick meal later in the week.

🧺 Ingredients

2 cups butternut squash, peeled and cubed
6 slices bacon, chopped
2 cups fresh baby spinach
6 large eggs
1/2 cup whole milk or cream
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil

👩‍🍳Instructions

1
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
2
Toss the cubed butternut squash with olive oil and a pinch of salt on a baking sheet, then roast for 20 minutes until tender.
3
While the squash roasts, cook the chopped bacon in a skillet until it is nice and crispy, then remove it with a slotted spoon and drain the extra grease.
4
In the same skillet, lightly wilt the baby spinach for just a minute and set it aside.
5
Reduce your oven temperature to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and lightly grease a pie dish.
6
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper.
7
Stir the roasted squash, crispy bacon, wilted spinach, and half of the cheese into the egg mixture.
8
Pour everything into the prepared pie dish and sprinkle the remaining cheese on top.
9
Bake for 30 to 35 minutes until the center is set and the top is lightly golden brown.

💡 Tips

To store leftovers, keep the quiche in an airtight container in the fridge for up to four days. You can also freeze individual slices wrapped in plastic for up to two months. Simply reheat them in the microwave or oven until warmed through.
