Quiche: Spinach, Ham and Parmesan Cheese

1. Heat oven to 375°F. Place pie crust in a 9-inch glass pie pan as directed on box for a one crust filled pie.

2. Layer ham*, cheese and spinach into the crust-lined pan. Set aside. In a medium bowl, beat eggs and milk with a fork then add pepper. Pour the egg mixture over the top of the spinach.

3. Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 45 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove it from the oven. At this point, I add some extra cheese on top and switch the oven to broil. Put it back in the oven under the broiler and let the cheese get bubbly and brown. This will take about 3 minutes.

4. Let stand 5 to 10 minutes before serving Or let it completly cool before serving.

* I used pre-diced ham that is great for quiches or scrambled eggs. I put some paper towels on a plate and put the ham on top of the towels and blotted it with another paper towel to absorb any excess liquid before layering it into the pie pan.
