Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece Pre-made pie crust
- 4 cups Fresh spinach
- 1 cup Diced ham
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 4 large Eggs
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 cup Milk
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Nutmeg (optional)
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Roll out the pre-made pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish, pressing it gently into the bottom and sides. Trim any excess dough hanging off the edges.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add fresh spinach and sauté until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Remove the spinach from the skillet and let it cool slightly. Once cooled, squeeze out excess water and chop coarsely.
Scatter the chopped spinach evenly over the bottom of the prepared pie crust. Add the diced ham on top of the spinach, spreading it evenly.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese and mozzarella cheese over the ham and spinach layers.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, milk, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg (if using) until smooth and well combined.
Pour the egg mixture over the cheese, ham, and spinach in the pie crust, ensuring it fills the crust evenly.
Place the quiche on a baking sheet to catch any spills, then transfer it to the preheated oven.
Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the center of the quiche is set and the top is golden brown. You can insert a knife or toothpick into the center — if it comes out clean, the quiche is done.
Remove the quiche from the oven and let it cool for about 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Serve warm, at room temperature, or chilled. Enjoy!
