Instructions:
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Prepare Ingredients:
- Chop the fresh spinach into small pieces.
- Dice the ham into small cubes.
- Shred your cheese if not pre-shredded.
- Grease Quiche Dish: Grease a 9-inch quiche dish or pie pan with olive oil or butter to prevent sticking.
- Prepare Egg Mixture:
- In a large bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them together.
- Add heavy cream to the eggs and whisk until well combined.
- Season the egg mixture with salt and pepper to taste.
- Assemble Quiche:
- Spread the chopped spinach evenly over the bottom of the greased quiche dish.
- Sprinkle diced ham over the spinach.
- Spread shredded cheese evenly over the spinach and ham.
- Pour Egg Mixture:
- Carefully pour the egg and cream mixture over the spinach, ham, and cheese in the quiche dish. Use a spoon to gently stir the mixture if needed to ensure even distribution.
- Bake the Quiche:
- Place the quiche dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set. You can test for doneness by inserting a knife into the center; it should come out clean.
- Let Cool and Serve:
- Once baked, remove the quiche from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
- Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the top of the quiche for added flavor, if desired.
- Cut into slices and serve warm.
Additional Tips:
- You can customize this quiche by adding other keto-friendly ingredients such as mushrooms, bell peppers, or different types of cheese.
- Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the microwave or oven.
- This quiche also makes a great option for meal prep, as you can make it ahead of time and enjoy it for breakfast throughout the week.
