Steps:
- Pulse together the flour, sugar and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a food processor. Add about a 1/3 of the chilled butter cubes and process until the butter is absorbed. Add the remaining butter and pulse until the butter is the size of peas, 5 or 6 pulses. Add the vinegar. Then, pulsing quickly a few times as you do it, add the ice water through the tube. Squeeze some dough between your fingers; it should just hold its shape without feeling wet. If it is crumbly, add more ice water a tablespoon at a time. Pulse quickly; do not overwork or the dough will be tough. Wrap the dough loosely in a large piece of plastic wrap, then firmly press and flatten the dough into a thin round. Refrigerate for 1 hour.
- Lightly dust a work surface with flour, roll the dough out into an 11- to 12-inch round, about 1/8 inch thick. Center the dough in a 9-inch pie plate, with an even overhang all around. Fold the edges and flute or crimp. Chill for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Press a piece of foil over the chilled crust, fill with pie weights, raw beans or rice. Bake to set the crust, about 20 minutes. Remove the foil and weights and bake until the crust is light brown, 5 to 10 minutes more. Let cool slightly before adding the filling.
- Adjust the oven temperature to 350 degrees F.
- Sprinkle the onion evenly into the crust. Combine the cheese, ham and spinach in a small bowl and sprinkle it in an even layer over the onion.
- Whisk together the half and half, parsley, eggs, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl.
- Pour the custard over the filling and bake until the quiche is set, 35 to 50 minutes. Let cool at least 30 minutes before serving warm or at room temperature.

SLOW-COOKER HAM, CHEESE AND SPINACH CRUSTLESS QUICHE
Save some room in your oven, and make quiche in your slow cooker instead! We think the most important part of any slow cooker recipe is how you finish it, so we left the spinach out of the quiche and put it on top so it stays nice and green. You can also top your quiche with vinaigrette-tossed baby mixed greens or arugula.

Steps:
- Line a 6-quart slow cooker insert with a large piece of foil so it goes about 2 inches up the side. Spray generously with cooking spray.
- Heat 1 teaspoon of the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shallots, and cook, stirring frequently, until they turn lightly golden, about 1 minute. Remove from the heat, and stir in the lemon zest and a pinch of salt.
- Whisk together the eggs, egg yolks, half-and-half, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a large bowl.
- Transfer the cooked shallots to a medium bowl. Add the ham, fontina and cornstarch, and toss. Scatter the mixture over the bottom of the lined insert. Pour in the egg mixture. Cover the slow cooker, and cook on high until the middle is set and no longer jiggles, about 3 1/2 hours. Remove the lid, dab the quiche with a paper towel to absorb any excess liquid and let rest for 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, wipe out the large skillet and heat the remaining 2 teaspoons oil over medium heat. Add a few handfuls of spinach, and cook, tossing and stirring, until wilted; repeat until all the spinach is wilted, about 8 minutes total. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt a few grinds of pepper.
- Use the foil to help remove the quiche from the insert. Use metal spatulas to lift it from the foil and onto a serving platter. Top with the wilted spinach, and scatter the Parmesan over the top. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Steps:
- Take the package of frozen spinach out of the freezer and put in small holed colander to defrost. Defrosting can be speedup by running spinach under cold water. Drain spinach well by pressing into colander to release all the water. Take pie crusts out of the freezer, separate and allow to thaw for about ten minutes. Bake the pie crusts according to the package directions. When pie crusts are out of the oven and cooling, mix the eggs, cream and milk together in a bowl. Set aside. Once pie crusts are cooled (about ten minutes) divide the spinach equally in the two crusts; dice ham into small cubes directly in to one of the pies (be generous--use 3/4 to 1 cup--there will be plenty left over for sandwiches); dice cheeses of choice in small cubes to both of the pies, use 3/4 to 1 cup in each pie; add pepper to taste; divide the egg mixture evenly between the two pies. Put both pies side by side on a large cookie sheet and bake at 350 degrees for approximately 40 to 45 minutes. When done, the middle of the quiche should be a little moist. Test by sticking a knife in the center of the pie and if the knife comes out clean the pie is done. Allow pies to cool to set, maybe ten to fifteen minutes and then slice and serve. Freeze leftovers to use for future breakfasts or even for dinner with a salad.
Tips:
- Use fresh spinach: Fresh spinach has a more vibrant flavor and texture than frozen spinach. If you're using frozen spinach, be sure to thaw it and squeeze out all of the excess water before using it.
- Season the spinach: Spinach has a mild flavor, so it's important to season it well. You can use salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, or any other herbs and spices that you like.
- Use a good quality cheese: The type of cheese you use will have a big impact on the flavor of your quiche. Use a cheese that melts well, such as cheddar, mozzarella, or Gruyère.
- Don't overcook the quiche: Quiche is best when it is cooked until the center is just set. Overcooking will make the quiche dry and crumbly.
- Let the quiche cool before serving: Quiche needs to cool for a few minutes before serving, so that it has time to set. This will also make it easier to slice.
Conclusion:
Spinach quiche is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It's also a great way to use up leftover spinach. With so many different variations to choose from, there's sure to be a spinach quiche recipe that everyone will love.
