Quiche is one of those versatile meals that is perfect for breakfast, lunch and dinner and is the perfect way to use up leftover meats and veggies to make a scrumptious meal. Today’s Ham, Spinach and Cheese Quiche is a family favorite!

Easy Ham and Spinach Quiche Recipe

Quiche is one of those high-rotation meals that I make at least twice a month.

It’s super quick and easy, everyone loves it and it’s the perfect way to use up leftover meats and veggies. Swapping out the fillings and seasonings is an easy way to serve quiches often without risking the family getting bored of them.

Since pie crusts come two in a pack here, I tend to make two quiches at a time and we enjoy the leftovers for a couple of days – having a slice for breakfast, serving it up with a side salad for lunch, etc. My daughter actually prefers it cold the next day, while I always warm up my leftovers. (She’s also a cold pizza fan – I am decidedly not.)

This ham, cheese and spinach quiche is incredibly delicious and filling, with a fluffy egg filling speckled with salty hits of cheese and ham. The mix of textures, from the crunchy, flaky crust to the spongy egg filling and the bits of chew from spinach and ham, makes this quiche utterly satisfying.

We seasoned this ham and cheese quiche with garlic powder, white pepper and salt, but you can swap those out for whichever seasonings you prefer – you can even add a bit of heat with cayenne or crushed red pepper flakes, or a sprinkle of hot sauce.

Can I use milk instead of heavy cream for quiche? Yes, but we sure to use whole milk to ensure that your quiche has enough fat in it to still result in the rich, creamy yet light and airy egg texture that quiche is known for.

Can I make a quiche without crust? Yes, you can skip the pie crust and liberally grease a pie dish to make a crustless quiche.

Why did my quiche turn out rubbery? To prevent a rubbery quiche, be sure to whisk a lot of air into your eggs before baking and bake using the times and temperatures indicated below. Increasing the temperature to cook the quiche quicker will cause your quiche to become rubbery.

How to Make Ham and Spinach Quiche

Preheat oven to 350F

Use a fork to make small pricks all over the pie crust and then bake for 8 minutes.

In a large skillet, heat the butter or oil over medium heat.

Once butter is hot, add the spinach and stir occasionally until completely wilted. Remove from heat.

In a large bowl, beat together the eggs, milk and heavy cream. Beat in the seasoning.

Stir in the cooked spinach, cheese and ham.

Pour the mixture into your pre-baked pie shell and place on a cookie sheet to prevent oven spills.

Place quiche in the oven and continue baking for 25-35 minutes, until eggs are completely cooked through.
