Ingredients
- 1 cup cubed cooked thick cut ham
- 1 cup shredded extra sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 bunch of cleaned spinach 12 oz
- 1/2 cup of diced white onion
- 2 minced garlic cloves
- 1 -2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1 cup milk 2% is our preferred but you can use whatever you have.
- 4 eggs
- salt and pepper to taste
Pie Crust
- 1 1/4 cups all purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons cold water
- 1/2 cup slightly chilled salted butter, cubed see notes for unsalted
- 1/2 tsp salt
Instructions
Make Pie Crust
- Sift flour, add salt, and then cut in the butter until dough is a consistency similar to bread crumbs. Slowly add the cold water and once combined shape into a smooth ball (don't over work), wrap in foil, and put in fridge to cool / rest for at least 30 minutes.
- Blind bake the crust. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees. After 30 minutes, remove from fridge and roll out into a large circular shape on a floured surface. Gently place the dough over and into a 9 inch 1 1/4 inch deep pie pan (standard size) and then cut off excess around the edges. Bake for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, add garlic and onions to a saute pan with olive oil. Saute until onions are translucent. Add ham and then spinach and cook until spinach is wilted.
- In a large bowl, add eggs and milk and whisk vigorously. Then add ham, onions, and spinach and mix, then add cheese and mix all together.
- Slowly pour the mixture into the pre-baked pie crust and then add to oven. Bake for 40-50 minutes until middle is done and set. Edges should be browned, center set but still a little jiggly. Let cool for at least 10 minutes and then enjoy!

Notes
- To use unsalted butter for pie crust, just increase salt in recipe by 1/8 teaspoon.
- If using a pre-made pie crust, blind bake crust and follow all other instructions.
- If using frozen spinach, be sure to thaw and drain it of any excess liquid.
- Customize with your other favorite veggies - just be sure to cook them first to release any liquid.
