I discovered this recipe a while back, but when I made it I knew it would be perfect for Christmas. It was kind of strange setting the photo up to look like Christmas months in advance.
This recipe for spinach, bacon, and tomato quiche was the first time I have made a quiche using puff pastry instead of a traditional pastry crust. After making it, I wish I had tried it sooner. It was so easy to do and tastes amazing. The combination of the vegetables with the cheese and bacon works so well in this.
I used these cute Wilton tart/quiche pans to make them. However, you could use 4-5 inch custard cups in their place or I bet the jumbo muffin pan would work also.
The combination of the spinach with the tomato gives the quiche a very festive look for Christmas morning. Then add in baking with helps make the flavor amazing! Give this Quiche a try, even if it isn’t on Christmas morning!
