Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 can (12 oz) Spam
- 8 oz Velveeta cheese
- 4 large Eggs
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 1 (9-inch, store-bought or homemade) Pie crust
- 1 small (finely diced) Onion
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Butter
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Roll out the pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish, trim any excess edges, and set aside.
Dice the Spam into small cubes, approximately 1/2-inch in size.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and melt the butter.
Add the diced onion to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened.
Add the diced Spam to the skillet and cook for another 3-4 minutes to lightly brown it. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
Cut the Velveeta cheese into small cubes, about the same size as the Spam.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until fully combined.
Layer the cooled Spam and sautéed onion mixture evenly in the prepared pie crust.
Distribute the Velveeta cubes evenly over the Spam mixture in the pie crust.
Carefully pour the egg mixture over the filling, making sure it spreads evenly and does not overflow.
Place the pie dish on a baking sheet to prevent any spills in the oven.
Bake the quiche in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is lightly golden.
Allow the quiche to cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Serve warm and enjoy your Spam and Velveeta Quiche!
