Ham and Cheese Quiche Recipe

Prep: 20 minutes
Cook: 32 minutes
Yields: 4 servings

Get ready for a brunch sensation that’s sure to satisfy your cravings – a savory ham and cheese quiche that’s loaded with flavor and perfect for the whole family!

This quiche is a game-changer for any meal, whether it’s a holiday brunch or a quick weeknight dinner. And the best part? It’s incredibly easy to make, with a prep time of just 20 minutes and a cook time of 32 minutes.

First things first, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). While that’s heating up, let’s get started on the filling. You’ll want to squeeze out as much liquid as possible from your thawed spinach – trust us, it makes all the difference in the world. Use a fine mesh sieve or a clean kitchen towel to get the job done.

Now it’s time to roll out your pie crust. You can use a homemade or store-bought crust, whichever suits your fancy. Place it in a 9-inch pie dish and trim the edges to fit. Don’t worry if it’s not perfect – it’s all about the flavor, right?

Next, sprinkle some shredded cheese on the bottom of the crust. We’re talking sharp cheddar, cream cheese, and Gruyère – the holy trinity of cheeses. Add some diced ham and a sprinkle of chopped green onions for good measure.

Now it’s time for the egg mixture. Whisk together some eggs, heavy cream, salt, and pepper, and pour it over the filling. Don’t overfill the crust – you want to leave a little room for the eggs to set.

Pop that quiche in the oven and bake for 32-35 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set. You can check for doneness by inserting a knife or toothpick into the center – if it comes out clean, you’re good to go.

While the quiche is baking, you can prep your sides. We recommend a simple green salad or some roasted veggies to round out the meal.

Once the quiche is done, let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. And don’t worry if you have leftovers – this quiche freezes beautifully and can be reheated in the oven or microwave.

So there you have it – a delicious, easy, and crowd-pleasing quiche that’s perfect for any meal. Give it a try and let us know what you think!
