PREP TIME: 15 min
COOK TIME: 40-50 min
SERVINGS: 4

ingredients:

• 8 slices bacon
• 8 eggs
• 2 cloves garlic, minced or grated
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil leaves
• 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 cups chopped spinach
• 1 to 2 tablespoons bacon fat (reserved from cooking bacon)
• 12 cherry tomatoes, halved

preparation:

Preheat the oven to 375°F.

Slice the bacon crosswise into 1/4-inch strips. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until the fat is rendered and the meat is cooked, approximately 8 to 10 minutes. Remove the bacon from the pan and drain on paper towels; reserve the fat.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs, garlic, chives, basil, salt, and pepper until well combined. Stir in the spinach.

Grease a 9 x 11-inch baking dish with the reserved bacon fat, then pour the egg mixture into the pan. Top with the bacon pieces and cherry tomato halves.

Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the quiche puffs up and becomes golden brown on the edges.
