Goat cheese, spinach and bacon quiche




1pkg Mini Tart shells (no name in this case, just don't grab the sweetened ones)

1/2 an onion minced

1 clove of garlic minced

4 cups baby spinach 

4 pieces of cooked bacon, crumbled

3 whole eggs 

2 egg yolks

1/2 cup cream

1 cup milk

1 large pkg goat cheese

Salt and pepper to taste



Add a little olive oil to a large pan, on medium heat, and toss the onions in and cook until translucent and soft.

Add in the spinach and wilt it with the onions. 

Add in the garlic for 30 seconds to a minute (don't burn it).

Dump in the crumbled bacon and stir. Leave in pan off the heat to cool.

Beat eggs, milk, cream and add in salt and pepper.

In each mini tart add in a small amount of bacon/onion/spinach mixture.




Pour egg mixture over top.

Add about 1/2 tbsp worth of chunks of goat cheese to each tart.

Try to keep it close to the top. Add more or less to your own taste. My kids love goat cheese, so I go heavy.

Fresh black pepper to the top.

Bake at 375 for about 30-40 minutes (my oven is still on the fritz, and I live close to the Rockies, so adjust accordingly) 

I served with a balsamic salad of baby greens, cucumber and tomatoes (kids).

And it's likely what they'll get for breakfast!
