Instructions
FOR THE CRUST
Combine flour and salt in a food processor and pulse until combined.
Add cut up butter and pulse until mixture resembles coarse meal.
Whisk together egg yolk and 2 tablespoons water; add to flour mixture and pulse until moist crumbs start to form.
Transfer mixture to a piece of plastic wrap, and using wrap and your hands, form into a disk.
Refrigerate, wrapped, at least 30 minutes to 4 hours.
On a lightly floured work surface, roll out refrigerated dough to an 11-inch round.
Transfer to a 9-inch pie plate or tart plate; trim edges to a 1-inch overhang.
Wrap in plastic; freeze at least 30 minutes and up to 3 days.
Preheat oven to 400F degrees.
Line crust with parchment and fill with dried beans or pie weights.
Bake for 25 minutes, or until dough underneath parchment paper is dry.
Remove parchment and beans; bake 8 to 10 minutes or until golden.
Let cool slightly.
In the meantime prepare the filling.
FOR THE FILLING
Reduce oven temperature to 375F degrees.
Whisk eggs until smooth, then whisk in cream, milk, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.
Stir in half of bacon and half of cheeses.
Pour filling mixture into crust; be careful not to overfill.
Press spinach into custard, leaving some poking out from top.
Sprinkle with remaining bacon and cheese.
Bake 10 minutes at 375 degrees, then reduce to 325F and continue to bake for 55 more minutes.
Remove from oven and let cool 1 hour before cutting and serving.
