Ham and Spinach Quiche is a classic breakfast dish that can be enjoyed any time of day. This recipe is perfect for those who want to meal prep, as it can be made ahead of time and reheated for a quick, healthy breakfast or lunch. The combination of ham, spinach, and cheese makes for a flavorful and nutritious dish, with the addition of the quiche crust providing a satisfying crunch. Serve with a side salad or fruit for a complete meal.

Instructions

1.Preheat the oven to 375°F.
2.In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Add the butter and use your fingertips to rub it into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse sand.
3.Gradually add the chilled water until the dough comes together into a ball.
4.On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to 1/8 inch thickness. Transfer to a 9-inch tart pan and press the dough into the corners and up the sides, trimming any excess.
5.In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the scallions and cook until softened, about 2 minutes. Add the spinach and cook until wilted, about 3 minutes more. Transfer to a colander and press out any excess liquid.
6.Sprinkle the ham, cheese, and spinach mixture evenly over the tart shell. In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and salt and pepper to taste. Pour the egg mixture over the filling.
7.Bake for 30 minutes or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown. Cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
