Spaghetti Carbonara Quiche

Over the past four years or so, we’ve become the hub of Christmas brunch. Every year, both of our families descend on our house Christmas morning for present unwrapping, mimosa drinking, and brunch eating. This is our fun family tradition that we intend to keep on doing for years to come.

And one of the things I like doing is creating something new that my family has never had before. And this is what we did this year.

We love frittatas and seem to always serve them at these kind of breakfasts. They’re a great way to make eggs without having to “watch” them, quick & easy! The problem, however, is that the clean up is so hard. Eggs stick to every cooking vessel and need some serious scrubbing to remove. There had to be a unique solution that I was not thinking of! Then I heard a little nibble. “Did you know that some people use spaghetti squash as a crust in savory dishes?” Whoomp! There it is!

Bonus: when you use spaghetti squash to make a “crust” for a frittatta, you’re adding vegetables AND replicating something similar to a quiche, which everyone loves! So we made this recipe, inspired by our own extremely popular Spaghetti Squash Alla Carbonara recipe!

We made it two ways when we served it – one each with and without spinach and mushrooms. More veggies and flavor won in our home, but certainly if you’ve got picky eaters going with just squash, bacon and eggs will be not only healthy but delicious too!

  4. Cut bacon into 1/4" strips and cook until crispy in a medium skillet over medium heat

Let me assure you that this will be a big hit, no matter when and where you serve it! We suggest making it part of a big brunch spread, like we did for Christmas… but really any day is a great day to have brunch. We serve a big brunch almost every Sunday!
