Equipment
Ingredients
- 8 ounces smoked ham or cooked bacon
- 10 ounces frozen spinach or fresh
- 1 medium onions diced (green onion works well too)
- 5 large eggs
- 1 cup shredded cheese Cheddar, Gouda, Swiss, Gruyere cheese or a mixture of them.
- 1 cup heavy cream
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1-2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Instructions
Prepare the Quiche Filling:
- Preheat the oven to 350F. Slice and dice the ham or crumble the cooked bacon. Chop the onions.
- Set the stove on medium heat and use a skillet to sauté the ham and the onions together with some oil. If you use bacon, just saute the onions at this point.
- Add the spinach and cook everything together until the liquid from the spinach evaporates. Your mixture should not be very wet. (This is the time to add the cooked crumbled bacon to the mixture in case you used bacon)
- Allow the mixture to cool down before assembling the quiche.
- Taste for salt and pepper, but go easy on the salt as the ham/bacon and cheese are also salty.
Prepare the Quiche Base:
- Whisk the eggs together.
- Add the heavy cream and shredded cheese to the eggs and mix well.
Assemble The Dish And Bake:
- Gently add the cooled spinach mixture to the egg mixture and mix well.
- Butter a 9-inch baking pie dish and the mixture to it. Bake the quiche for about 30 mins at 350F, until it’s lightly brown outside and cooked inside.
- Insert a toothpick in the middle and check if it is done. The toothpick should come out clean.
- Serve warm or cold for breakfast or with a salad for lunch.
