Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose white wheat flour and a dash of salt.
- Add the chilled and cubed butter to the bowl. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gradually add cold water, a tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough comes together. Form the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Heat 2 teaspoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the finely chopped onion and cook until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Add the chopped bacon to the skillet and cook until crispy, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add the roughly chopped spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 egg, 1/2 cup of light sour cream, and 1/2 cup of 1% milk until well combined. Stir in the grated parmesan cheese.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to fit a 9-inch (23 cm) pie dish. Press the dough into the dish and trim any excess from the edges.
- Spread the spinach, bacon, and onion mixture evenly over the bottom of the crust.
- Pour the egg mixture over the spinach mixture, spreading it evenly.
6. Bake:
- Place the quiche in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown.
7. Cool and Serve:
- Remove the quiche from the oven and allow it to cool for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving.

Cooking Tips:
- Pre-cook the bacon and drain any excess fat to avoid a greasy quiche.
- Use fresh spinach for the best flavor, but you can substitute with frozen spinach—just be sure to thaw and drain it well.
- Chill the dough before rolling it out to make it easier to handle and to ensure a flakier crust.
- Blind bake the crust (bake without the filling) for a few minutes to prevent it from getting soggy.

- Let the quiche cool for a few minutes before slicing to allow the filling to set.
