Instructions
Prepare
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Set out a rimmed baking sheet.
Blind bake
- Once oven is preheated, add the thawed pie crust on the rimmed baking sheet, and gently prick the bottom of the crust a few times with a fork.
- Bake for about 8-10 minutes, or until very lightly golden brown. Remove from the oven and set aside.
Reduce oven temperature
- Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F.
Whisk together the custard
- To a mixing bowl, add eggs, heavy cream, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and nutmeg. Whisk to combine well.
Assemble quiche
- Make sure to squeeze the excess liquid out of the thawed spinach. I like to add the spinach to a fine mesh sieve and then press down it with paper towels.
- Add spinach, ham, cheese, green onions, and cream cheese to the partially baked pie crust.
- Pour in the custard, giving things a gentle stir to combine.
Bake
- Place the baking sheet with the assembled quiche back in the oven (remember, it's at 350°F now), and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the center is set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Rest and serve
- Let the quiche rest at room temperature for 5-10 minutes after baking.
- Serve hot and enjoy!
Notes
- homemade pie crust
- I've estimated this recipe will serve 8, with one slice being the serving size. However, the exact amount and size of the servings are up to you.
- Quiche may be baked in smaller individual pie pans, but you'll have to experiment to figure out the exact baking time, as I haven't tested this.
- Feel free to use a homemade pie crust instead.
- If you prefer not to blind bake your quiche's crust, skip that step, and assemble the quiche in the thawed crust. Bake as directed, but it may take a few minutes longer (just check it with a toothpick to be sure).
