Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Rice Paper Crust

Preheat the oven to 190°C (375°F).
Dip each rice paper sheet into the beaten egg until coated and slightly softened.
Layer the rice paper sheets in your mini quiche tin or pie dish, overlapping them to create the crust.
Bake for 10 minutes, or until the rice paper crust is lightly golden and beginning to crisp.

Step 2: Make the Bacon and Cheese Quiche Filling

In a bowl, whisk together 2 eggs and the thick yogurt until smooth.
Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, baby spinach, and crispy bacon.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Notes

For the crispiest rice paper crust: Make sure the rice paper sheets are coated in egg and pre-baked before adding the filling. This helps prevent the base from becoming soggy.

Add extra vegetables: Mushrooms, bell peppers, tomatoes, or extra spinach work well. Cook vegetables with a high water content first so they don't make the quiche watery.

Change the cheese: Swap cheddar for Gruyère, mozzarella, Swiss cheese, or your favorite melting cheese.

For mini quiches: Make smaller individual quiches in a muffin tin. Keep an eye on them while baking, as smaller quiches will cook more quickly.
