Petite Ham & Spinach Quiche

By Link Dupont on Feb 7th, '10. Viewed 655 times.

This is a recipe I’ve developed, largely inspired by a recipe off Allrecipes.com. Most of the credit goes to that recipe, and I have only slightly modified it (by replacing bacon with ham & spinach). The original recipe calls for a 9x13 inch baking dish, though I’ve found that the same ingredient amounts work in two of the dishes pictured. The dish I use is about 6 inches in diameter and about 1.5 inches deep.

Ingredients

  • 4 ounces shredded swiss cheese
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter or margerine
  • 4 beaten eggs
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped onions
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup cubed ham
  • 1/2 cup cooked spinach

Baking time can vary greatly depending on the oven, and the depth of the baking dish. I have made this recipe in a full 9" quiche dish as well, with no adjustment to the amounts. I’ve not quite narrowed down the measurements for the ham & spinach, so vary to taste.
