Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 0.25 cup cold water
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups ham, diced
- 1.5 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 cup onion, finely chopped
- 2 cups spinach, chopped
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 4 large eggs
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Add the cold butter, cutting it into the flour using a pastry cutter or your hands until the mixture forms coarse crumbs.
Slowly add the cold water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough just comes together. Form the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, cooking until softened and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the chopped spinach to the skillet and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, until wilted. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, black pepper, and dried thyme.
Prepare a clean surface and roll out the chilled dough to fit a 9-inch pie dish. Carefully transfer the dough to the pie dish, trimming any excess overhang and crimping the edges.
Evenly spread the diced ham over the bottom of the crust, followed by the shredded cheddar cheese. Layer the cooked spinach and onion mixture on top.
Pour the egg and cream mixture over the fillings, ensuring it is evenly distributed.
Place the pie dish on a baking sheet to catch any overflow, and bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm and enjoy.
