Ingredients

• 1 piece pre-made or homemade pie crust
• 6 large eggs
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 0.5 cup milk
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 cup chopped spinach (fresh or frozen, thawed and squeezed dry)
• 1 cup diced cooked ham
• 0.5 cup chopped onion
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 tablespoons optional herbs (e.g., parsley, chives)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

If not using a pre-made crust, prepare your pie crust according to your recipe. Roll it out into a 9-inch pie dish and trim any excess.

Step 3

In a medium skillet over medium heat, warm the olive oil. Add the chopped onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened. Set aside to cool slightly.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, milk, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.

Step 5

Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, cooked onions, chopped spinach, diced ham, and any optional herbs you'd like to use.

Step 6

Pour the egg mixture into the prepared pie crust, spreading out the filling evenly.

Step 7

Carefully place the quiche on the middle rack of the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the filling is set and slightly golden on top.

Step 8

Remove the quiche from the oven and let it cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing. This allows the filling to set completely.

Step 9

Slice and serve warm, or refrigerate for up to 3 days and enjoy chilled or reheated.
