Ingredients

• 1 Pre-made pie crust
• 4 Large eggs
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 1 cup Whole milk
• 1 cup Shredded Gruyère cheese
• 1 cup Fresh spinach (chopped)
• 1 cup Diced ham or cooked bacon
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Nutmeg (optional)
• 1 tablespoon Butter (for greasing)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish with butter, then press the pre-made pie crust into the dish. Trim any excess crust from the edges and crimp the edges for a decorative touch. Set aside.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Stir in the salt, black pepper, and nutmeg (if using) to the custard mixture.

Step 5

Evenly spread the chopped spinach and diced ham or bacon onto the bottom of the prepared pie crust.

Step 6

Sprinkle the shredded Gruyère cheese over the spinach and protein layer.

Step 7

Carefully pour the custard mixture over the fillings, ensuring it spreads evenly but does not overflow the crust.

Step 8

Place the pie dish on a baking sheet to catch any potential spills and transfer it to the preheated oven.

Step 9

Bake the quiche for 40-45 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown. You’ll know it’s done when a toothpick or knife inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 10

Remove the quiche from the oven and allow it to cool for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving. This helps the custard set and makes slicing easier.

Step 11

Serve warm or at room temperature with a fresh salad or crusty bread. Enjoy!
