Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 medium spaghetti squash
  • 6 slices of bacon
  • 1 cup of shredded cheese (Cheddar or Gruyère)
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup of whole milk
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh herbs (thyme or parsley), optional

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

  4. Add a little water to the dish and cover tightly with aluminum foil.

  6. Remove the squash from the oven and let it cool slightly before shredding the flesh with a fork.
  7. Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy.
  8. Remove the bacon and let it drain on paper towels to absorb excess fat.

  13. Pour this mixture into a prepared pie crust or a greased quiche dish.
  14. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the quiche is set and the top is lightly golden.
