Instructions
Prepare the Potatoes
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grate the potatoes and squeeze out excess moisture using a clean kitchen towel.
Pro tip: Ensure potatoes are as dry as possible for a crispy crust.
Make the Potato Crust
In a bowl, mix grated potatoes with melted butter, salt, and pepper. Press into a greased 9-inch (23 cm) pie pan, forming an even crust.
Pro tip: Press firmly to ensure the crust holds together.
Pre-bake the Crust
Bake the potato crust in the preheated oven for 20 minutes until lightly golden.
Pro tip: Check for even browning and adjust oven time if necessary.
Prepare the Filling
In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, cream, cheese, bacon, spinach, thyme, nutmeg, salt, and pepper.
Pro tip: For a lighter option, substitute half the cream with milk.
Fill the Crust
Pour the egg mixture into the pre-baked potato crust, spreading evenly.
Pro tip: Leave a small gap at the top to prevent overflow.
Bake the Quiche
Return to oven and bake for 25 minutes or until the filling is set and the top is golden.
Pro tip: The centre should jiggle slightly; it will firm up as it cools.
Cool and Serve
Remove from oven and let cool for 10 minutes before slicing.
Pro tip: This resting period helps the quiche hold its shape.
Tips & Tricks
- Ensure your potatoes are well-drained to avoid a soggy crust.
- Use a mandoline for evenly sliced potatoes.
- Press the potato mixture firmly into the pan to form a uniform crust.
- Let the quiche rest before slicing for cleaner cuts.
