Serves four. Preparation time: 30 minutes.

Ingredients

12 streaky bacon rashers, rind removed

6 eggs

250ml low fat crème fraîche

2 tablesp chopped flatleaf parsley

Pinch of cayenne pepper

Salt and freshly ground black pepper

50g spinach, washed and thinly sliced

25g mature cheddar cheese, grated

Method

Preheat the oven to Gas Mark 4, 180°C (350°F ).

Grease four 12cm round ovenproof dishes or a 26cm quiche dish. Line the base and sides with the rashers. (Loose bottom tins are not suitable as the mixture will leak out ).

Whisk together the eggs, crème fraîche, parsley, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper.

Divide the spinach among the four dishes, or spread it over the base of the quiche dish, then pour in the egg mixture. Sprinkle the cheese on top.

Bake for 20 minutes until the bacon is crispy and the egg filling is just set. Serve immediately with crusty bread and salad.
