Ingredients

For crust: 6 oz. all-purpose flour 4 oz. unsalted butter 2 oz. cold water

1/2 tsp. Mayan Sea Salt

For filling: 9 eggs 2 cups heavy cream 2 cups shredded Gruyère 1 lb. bacon, cooked and chopped

3 Tbsp. Herbes de Provence

1/2 cup Freeze Dried Shallots

2 tsp. Sel Marin de Guerande Grey Sea Salt

1 tsp. Whole Nutmeg, freshly grated

1 cup fresh baby spinach

Directions

Step 1 For crust: Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Combine flour and salt. Cut butter into flour until all butter is in pea-sized balls. Add water and knead into a ball.

Step 2 Cover with plastic and refrigerate for 1 hour.

Step 3 Roll out dough on a floured surface until 1/8-inch thick. Place dough in pie pan, removing excess dough around edges. Prick pie crust all over with a fork to vent.

Step 4 Bake for 12 min. Set aside.

Step 5 For filling: Whisk together eggs, cream, shallots, Herbes de Provence, grated nutmeg, and grey sea salt until smooth.

Step 6 Place bacon, cheese and spinach in bottom of prepared pie crust. Fill with egg mixture, making sure spinach is submerged.

Step 7 Bake for 60 to 70 min., or until filling is set and slightly browned.
