Step 3: Assemble the Quiche
- Sprinkle half of the shredded cheese evenly over the bottom of the prepared dish.
- Layer the diced ham, spinach, green onions, and any optional add-ins on top of the cheese.
- Pour the egg mixture carefully over the layers, ensuring everything is coated but avoiding overflow.
- Top with the remaining cheese for a golden, cheesy finish.
Step 4: Bake to Perfection
- Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is lightly golden brown.
- To check doneness, insert a knife near the center; if it comes out clean, the quiche is ready.
Step 5: Rest and Serve
- Remove the quiche from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing. This allows the filling to firm up slightly and makes cutting easier.
- Slice into wedges and serve warm, room temperature, or chilled—whichever you prefer!
Tips for Success
- For an extra-fluffy texture, separate the egg whites and yolks. Beat the whites until stiff peaks form, then gently fold them into the yolk mixture before assembling the quiche.
- Use leftover cooked vegetables (like roasted bell peppers or zucchini) to customize the recipe further.
- Substitute the ham with turkey, bacon, or sausage for different flavor profiles.
