Instructions
- 1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9-inch pie pan with nonstick spray.
- 2 Place pie dough in the prepared pie pan; poke a few holes in the bottom with a fork. Line dough with a double layer of aluminum foil and a layer of pie weights or dried beans. Bake in the preheated oven until edge of crust is golden, about 15 minutes. Carefully remove foil and weights; continue baking until the crust sets, about 5 minutes more.
- 3 Remove from the oven and place on a wire rack; cool to room temperature, 15 to 20 minutes.
- 4 Spray a skillet with nonstick spray and place over medium heat. Add mushrooms and scallions; sauté until tender, about 5 minutes. Transfer vegetables to a plate; set aside.
- 5 Add bacon to the skillet and cook until browned and crispy, 5 to 7 minutes.
- 6 Whisk together eggs and cream in a bowl; season with salt and pepper.
- 7 Sprinkle grated Gruyere cheese over the bottom of the cooled crust. Add cooked bacon, mushrooms, and scallions; pour egg mixture over top. Place squash blossoms in a decorative pattern on top of the egg mixture.
- 8 Bake in the preheated oven until eggs are firm with no jiggling, 35 to 40 minutes. Cool quiche briefly before slicing.
