- Preheat the oven to 180 C.
- Grease a quiche dish, then line with shortcrust pastry. Prick the pastry all over with a fork.
- Arrange the bacon in the pastry case in the shape of a star. Set aside.
- Heat a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the spinach and heat for about 15 minutes or until the spinach has thawed and the water has evaporated. Drain and cool slightly.
- Meanwhile, beat together the eggs in a large bowl. Stir in the cream, salt, pepper and spinach.
- Pour egg mixture over the bacon and top with slices of goats cheese (form a circle and then place one in the centre). Sprinkle Gruyere cheese on top, if using.
- Bake in preheated oven for about 45 minutes or until cooked and golden.

Have now used this recipe several times, it's loved by family and friends. Last time I substituted smoked salmon for streaky bacon which improved the flavour and was easier to divide into slices. - 12 Nov 2015 (Review from Allrecipes UK & Ireland)
