Spinach Ham Quiche is a delicious, easy to mix up breakfast to please a crowd!
This Spinach Ham Quiche recipe makes two pans of quiche, which is perfect since the pie crusts come in a 2 pack. It is perfect for a large family gathering or for meal prep because it freezes great. The blend of spinach, ham, cheese and eggs in a flaky crust will have them begging for more! And this is so easy to whip up that you not mind mixing it up often!

Can Spinach Ham Quiche be made ahead?
Yes! It reheats easily in the microwave without having a “leftover” feel or taste and is just as delicious the second or third day. We enjoy it for lunches too. You can also wrap it securely and freeze for up to 6 months.
The meat:
The recipe calls for ham but you could use any meat you would like. Bacon or sausage would be delicious too. Use one pound of any meat or even half a pound of two different meats to really make it fun!
The Cheese:
I use one cup each of mozzarella and cheddar but you can use any kinds of cheeses you like. Some pepper (affiliate link) jack would spice it up nicely if you like that. Sometimes you realize you don’t have the cheese you thought you did so just use what you have. Pre-shredded cheese is fine in this recipe too.
The Spinach:
You also want to be sure to drain your spinach well. I just carefully squeeze the open bag over the sink while holding my hand around the neck of the bag to keep the spinach from falling out.
The Crust:
You will need 3 regular pie crusts for the best fit for the quiche filling. You can also use 2 deep dish and another small baking dish without a crust if you would prefer. I use 3 pie crusts.
It worked just fine to have a small baking dish for a crustless quiche but that will not need to bake as long as the quiches so check that dish at about half the baking time. I sometimes need to do this even when I have the deep dish crusts.
I find the premade crusts in the frozen baked good section at the grocery store.
It is also important to cover the crust edges or they will burn before the inside is cooked. You can use small strips of foil tucked around or these handy covers. I don’t use them often, but when I do, they are well worth the small cost they were and the space they take in the kitchen. They do a very good job at keeping the crust from getting too brown and are so simple to just lay over the pies. It is helpful to give them a quick spray with non stick spray before laying them over the crust so they don’t stick.
You can get the crust protectors here. Aluminum foil works but these babies are such a time saver.
