This Lucky Habanero Spinach & Bacon Quiche takes a classic brunch dish and gives it a flavorful upgrade. By mixing directly into the egg custard, you get roasted chilies, tomatoes, and spices in every bite.
It’s perfect for breakfast, brunch, or even an easy dinner.
Ingredients:
• 1 (9-inch) pie crust
• 6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
• ½ cup chopped onion
• 1½ cups baby spinach, chopped
• 1¼ cups shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, Swiss, or mozzarella)
• 5 large eggs
• 1¼ cups half-and-half
• ½ tub Lucky Habanero Salsa (Medium or Original Hot)
• Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
1. Preheat the Oven
Preheat oven to 375°F.
Place the pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish. Line it with parchment and pie weights (or dry beans) and bake for 15 minutes. Remove weights, prick the crust with a fork, and bake 8 more minutes until lightly set.
2. Cook the Filling
In a skillet, cook the bacon until crisp. Remove and crumble.
Drain most of the bacon grease, then add the chopped onion and spinach to the pan. Sauté for about 2 minutes, just until the spinach wilts.
3. Build the Quiche
Add the following ingredients to the partially baked crust:
• bacon
• sautéed onion
• spinach
• shredded cheese
Spread evenly.
4. Make the Lucky Habanero Egg Mixture
In a bowl or blender, combine:
• eggs
• half-and-half
• ½ tub Lucky Habanero Salsa
• salt and pepper
Blend or whisk until smooth.
Pour the mixture evenly over the filling in the pie crust.
5. Bake
Reduce oven temperature to 350°F.
Bake the quiche for 40–45 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is lightly golden.
Let it cool for 10 minutes before slicing.
Serving Ideas:
Serve your Lucky Habanero Quiche with:
• fresh fruit
• avocado slices
• roasted potatoes
• a simple green salad
It also reheats beautifully, making it great for meal prep or next-day breakfasts.
Why Lucky Habanero Works in Quiche
Adding Lucky Habanero Salsa to the egg mixture replaces the need for extra spices and vegetables. The salsa adds:
• roasted chili flavor
• tomato richness
• balanced seasoning
• a subtle kick of heat
It turns a traditional quiche into something bold, flavorful, and unforgettable.
