Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 30 minutes
Total Time: 45 minutes
Yield: Serves 6–8
Ingredients:
- 1 frozen pie crust, thawed
- 6 large eggs
- ½ cup milk
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ⅓ cup cooked ham, chopped
- ⅔ cup fresh spinach, roughly chopped
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Thaw the frozen pie crust according to package instructions. Place it on a baking sheet and poke the base with a fork to prevent bubbling.
- Pre-bake the crust for 10 minutes at 350°F to help it stay crisp.
- In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, pepper, and nutmeg.
- Add the chopped spinach, ham, and cheddar cheese to the pre-baked crust.
- Pour the egg mixture evenly over the filling.
- Bake the quiche on a baking sheet for 25–35 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden.
- Let cool in the pan for at least 10–15 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes & Tips:
- If your crust begins to brown too quickly, cover the edges with foil halfway through baking.
- Make it ahead: Bake the quiche a day in advance and reheat slices in the oven or microwave.
- For a vegetarian version, omit the ham and add mushrooms or bell peppers.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
