Mushroom, Spinach & Ham Quiche

Adapted from All Recipes

Quiches are my brunch specialty.  My husband and I both LOVE them.  And I haven't tried a recipe yet that I haven't liked.  This one takes advantage of sneaking in some extra vegetables by adding spinach and mushrooms.  It was perfect for Christmas morning.
Ingredients:

  • 2 Tbs all-purpose flour
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp sugar
  • 1 cup half-and-half
  • 3 eggs, whisked
  • 4 slices Swiss cheese
  • 1 tsp parsley
  • ¼ tsp thyme
  • 1 recipe pastry for 9” single pie crust
  • ½ cup chopped fresh spinach
  • ½ cup fresh mushrooms, sliced
  • 4.5 oz ham, diced
  • ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
Directions:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Beat together flour, salt, sugar, half-and-half, eggs, parsley, thyme, and cheddar cheese in a medium bowl.  Whisk together. 
  • Place Swiss cheese flat in the pie crust.  Arrange spinach evenly over the Swiss cheese, then cover with mushrooms and ham.  Cover with egg mixture.
  • Bake for 45-55 minutes until surface is golden brown and eggs have set. 
Notes:  Add a layer of onions next time.  Consider a pinch of cayenne pepper.
