spinach

🥗Healthier: kale

💰Cheaper: frozen spinach

Preheat oven to 400°F.

On a lightly floured surface, roll pastry to a 10-inch square and place it into an 8-inch square baking pan, pricking the bottom with a fork.

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat, add bacon, and cook until pieces start to brown, about 4 to 5 minutes.

Add onions to the skillet and cook until bacon is crisp and onions are lightly browned, about 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer mixture to a plate and let cool slightly before scattering over the pastry shell.

In a small bowl, whisk together eggs, cream, salt, and pepper. Pour the egg mixture into the pastry shell and sprinkle Gruyère cheese on top.

Bake until the filling is set and the top is golden brown, about 40 minutes.
