Instructies
Prepare the Pie Crust:
In a food processor, combine flour, salt, and sugar.
Pulse to mix.
Add butter and pulse until pea-sized pieces form.
Slowly drizzle in ice water and pulse until the dough just comes together.
Form into a disk, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat the Oven:
Preheat to 375°F.
Roll the Dough:
On a floured surface, roll the dough into a 14-inch round.
Transfer to a 9-inch deep-dish pie plate.
Trim excess, crimp edges, and chill for 15 minutes.
Blind Bake:
Line the crust with parchment paper and fill with pie weights or beans.
Bake for 20 minutes.
Remove parchment and weights and bake an additional 15 minutes until golden.
Let cool completely.
Cook Bacon and Vegetables:
In a large pan, cook bacon until golden, about 7 minutes.
Add shallots, cook for 4 minutes until translucent.
Drain excess fat.
Add spinach and sauté until wilted, about 3 minutes.
Set aside to cool.
Assemble Quiche:
Spread Gruyère over the pie crust.
Add cooled bacon mixture on top.
Prepare Egg Mixture:
In a bowl, whisk together half-and-half, cottage cheese, eggs, and egg yolks.
Season with salt and black pepper.
Pour over the bacon mixture in the crust and sprinkle with cayenne pepper.
Bake the Quiche:
Bake for 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is slightly jiggly.
Cool on a wire rack for at least 1 hour before serving.
