A savory Ham and Spinach Quiche featuring a flaky deep dish pie crust filled with tender ham, fresh spinach, and melted cheddar cheese, all enveloped in a rich, creamy egg custard. Perfect for brunch, lunch, or a light dinner.

Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 1 frozen deep dish pie shell (16 oz)

Filling

  • 8 oz ham, diced
  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • 1/2 cup cheddar cheese, shredded

Custard

  • 6 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Pre-bake the pie crust: Heat the oven to 400˚F. Line the pie crust with parchment paper and fill it with dried beans or pie weights to prevent bubbling. Bake for 12-15 minutes until the crust is golden brown. Remove from the oven and let it cool to room temperature. Reduce oven temperature to 350˚F. Avoid poking holes in the crust to prevent egg leakage during baking.
  2. Make the custard: In a medium bowl, combine the eggs, heavy cream, milk, salt, and pepper. Use a hand mixer to beat the mixture thoroughly until fully combined and smooth.
  3. Assemble the quiche: Roughly chop the spinach. Place half of the spinach evenly in the bottom of the pre-baked pie crust. Layer half of the ham and half of the shredded cheddar cheese on top. Repeat the layering with the remaining spinach, ham, and cheese.
  4. Pour custard and bake: Pour the beaten egg mixture evenly over the layered filling in the pie crust. Place the quiche on a baking sheet to catch any drips and bake at 350˚F for 45-55 minutes, or until the center is just set and a knife inserted comes out clean.
  5. Cool and serve: Let the quiche rest for 20 minutes after baking. Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy this delicious savory dish.

Notes

  • Do not poke holes in the pie crust before baking; using pie weights prevents bubbling.
  • Using a baking sheet under the quiche helps catch any spills during baking.
  • The quiche can be served warm or at room temperature.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated gently for up to 3 days.
