Ingredients

• 1 pre-made pie crust
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 cup vegetarian ham, diced
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Place the pre-made pie crust into a 9-inch quiche or pie dish, trimming any excess dough hanging over the edges and prick the bottom with a fork.

In a medium skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Once hot, add the diced vegetarian ham and onion. Sauté them for about 5-7 minutes until the onion becomes translucent and the ham is slightly browned. Remove from heat and let cool.

Step 5

Season the egg mixture with salt, black pepper, and nutmeg.

Spread the ham and onion mixture evenly on the bottom of the prepared pie crust.

Step 7

Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top of the ham and onion mixture.

Step 8

Scatter the chopped spinach evenly over the cheese.

Step 9

Pour the egg mixture over the fillings carefully, making sure it spreads evenly.

Step 10

Place the quiche in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the center is just set and the top is lightly golden.

Step 11

Remove the quiche from the oven and allow it to cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing.
