Why You’ll Love This Tasty Ham Spinach Quiche Salads

– Because you get to eat pie… and call it a salad.
– It’s like a breakfast, lunch, and snack wrapped into one tasty slice.
– Spinach makes you feel virtuous while ham declares you’re living your best life.
– Perfect dish for when you want to impress without actually having to try too hard.

How to Make It

Alright, folks, you’re going to wanna preheat that oven to 375°F. Get cozy with your crust—store-bought or homemade, no judgment here! Now, grab a large bowl and toss in some eggs (give them a good whisk like you mean it), ham, and spinach. Don’t get too distracted by your favorite podcast and forget the cheese like I did… once. Pour that delicious mess into your crust. Bake it for about 35-45 minutes, but keep an eye on it. Your kitchen will smell amazing, trust me!

Ingredient Notes

– Eggs: The glue holding our quiche dreams together. Whisk well and they’ll treat you right. Once I forgot one and, well, let’s say, that was an omelette.
– Ham: Oh, the salty star of the show. Skip this and you’ve got a frittata, but hey, it’ll still be great.
– Spinach: The veggie superstar. I tried kale once in a fit of healthy ambition, but spinach just… knows how to behave better in quiches.

Recipe Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (because warm and crispy go hand in hand).
2. Whisk together eggs, getting them all bubbly and happy.
3. Add chopped ham and spinach, stirring like you’re composing a masterpiece.
4. Pour into your pie crust (store your guilt if it’s store-bought).
5. Bake for 35-45 minutes, peeking in occasionally to see if the top is golden and delicious.

What to Serve It With

Tips & Mistakes

– Use fresh spinach for a vibrant green color.
– Forget the crust and you’ve got a frittata. Not a bad mistake!
– Drain the ham well. No one likes a soggy bottom!

Storage Tips

Leftovers? Pop those in an airtight container and into the fridge they go. Cold for breakfast? It’s a morning savior, trust me. Let’s be real, I once ate it standing in front of the fridge, half-awake at 7 AM. No shame in that game.

Variations and Substitutions

When you’re out of something, get creative! No ham? Bacon works if you feel indulgent. Out of milk? Heavy cream’s a richer (and richer) substitute. Vegan friends, swap eggs for a tofu blend. I’ve even nixed the crust on a busy day, and guess what? No one complained.
