Ingredients:

1 1/3 c Gruyere cheese, shredded and divided
1/2 10 ounces box of frozen chopped spinach, defrosted and wrung out in paper towels to remove excess moisture
6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
1 medium yellow onion, finely diced
1 frozen pie crust, deep dish
1/4 c chopped canned mushrooms wrung out in a paper towel to remove excess moisture
1/2 c diced cooked ham (I buy pre-diced from the grocery store)
4 large Eggs
1 tablespoon butter
3/4 c half and half
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
fresh parsley, minced
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt

Directions:

Prepare the oven and preheat it to 190 degrees C or 375 degrees F.

Place a medium skillet on the stove and turn the heat to medium-high. Add butter and allow it to melt.

Add the ham and onions into the hot skillet, then sauté for a few minutes until brown. Transfer onto a clean plate.

Add the bacon into the empty skillet, then cook for a few minutes until crispy. Remove from the heat and crumble into small pieces.

Steam the frozen spinach in the microwave for about 6 minutes, then move it into a colander. Allow it to cool and remove the water by pressing it.

Add bacon, eggs, half & half, nutmeg, ham, salt, pepper, spinach, and onions into a mixing bowl. Stir everything until well incorporated.

Press the mushrooms into the same colander, then add them to the egg mixture together with 1 cup of shredded cheese. Stir until well incorporated.

Pour the egg mixture into the prepared pie crust and spread it evenly.

Scatter the rest of the shredded cheese over the egg mixture.

Place it in the preheated oven and bake for about 45 minutes or until the top turns golden brown.

Remove the quiche from the oven and allow it to cool for about 5 minutes at room temperature. Slice into even servings.

Serve and enjoy!
