This spinach, ham and cheese quiche recipe is so easy and quickly became an unexpected family favorite. It’s so simple that my four year old makes the filling while I make the crust! This is a basic recipe that can be adapted to suit your individual tastes. Although the recipe calls for half and half, I decided to substitute whole milk because I didn’t want to come up short this week for my coffee (priorities!). Also, the kids make frowny faces over spinach, so in the interest of reducing headaches caused by whining, I will often leave these ingredients out and the quiche is still fantastic.
If you are looking for an easy ham and cheese quiche recipe, this one typically only takes about 10-15 minutes to prepare. That leaves plenty of time for clean up and relaxation while it cooks.

Spinach, ham and cheese quiche fit the profile perfectly while also addressing a craving for breakfast.
