Ingredients
  

  • 1 9- inch pie crust homemade or store-bought
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1/2 cup onion finely chopped
  • 1 cup fresh spinach chopped
  • 1 cup cooked ham diced
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish.

  4. In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, pepper, and nutmeg until smooth.
  5. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the filling in the crust.
  6. Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until the quiche is set in the center and the crust is golden brown.
  7. Remove from oven and let cool for 10 minutes before slicing.
  8. Garnish with chopped green onions and serve warm.
