Ham & Spinach Quiche
Quiche has become a regular in our home. I made one with leftover ham and spinach last weekend. It is very easy to make quiche with almost any ingredients you have inside your refrigerator especially leftovers like bacon, broccoli, leeks, mushrooms, onion, sausages and of course cheese, eggs, cream, milk are also a must . Try your hand at quiche making this weekend 🙂
Here is the recipe (lined 9″ flan ring)
Short Crust Pastry
200g Plain flour
100g Cold butter
4-5 tbsp Ice water
Method of making short crust pastry is the same as sweet crust pastry (refer to my Blueberry Pie)
Fillings
125g Chicken or Picnic Ham (shredded)
125g Spinach (wash & drain well, shredded)
1/2 tbsp Shallots (sliced)
2 Large eggs
80ml Whipping cream
80ml Full cream milk
1/8 tsp salt
dash of white pepper
50g Cheddar cheese – grated
Method:
- With little oil, fry shallot till fragrant and golden brown.
- Add ham fry for a while and add spinach and fry till spinach cooked, dish up and set aside.
- Measure whipping cream and milk together in measuring cup (you can omit whipping cream and use all 160ml milk) add eggs, lightly beaten and pinch of salt, mix well.
- Spread ham spinach and cheddar cheese evenly over the bottom of the prepared tart pan, add a dash of pepper then gently pour egg mixture over it.
- Bake at preheated 180C for 40 mins and serve hot or warm.
This is excellent when served with a cup of hot brewed coffee.
Enjoy!
A French classic dish. This is one of the first dish that I ever made which is savory and baked.
I want a piece too, looks so delicious:)
I love Quiche & this looks really good 🙂

This Quiche looks so nice. I did try once in a restaurant, it was nice. will bookmark this and give it a try ..:)
@Janice
no problem 🙂
Look so pretty and delicious . Can inured puff pastry instead?
@LyndseyYou're right Lindsey. Yesterday I also fried noodle with some leftovers.
yummy! beautifully done ann!
Your quiche is beautiful! I like to make quiche for the same reason, it's so virsitile you can add anything to it. Fried rice is the same way, a good vessel to clean out the fridge.
Hi Ann, if I use this recipe to bake using PH tart pastry, how many can I bake? Also, whats the temp and baking time? Thanks
Hi Ai Li, I’m sorry that I’m not sure how many I can make in the small pastry tart. Have to try and tested.
Ok. Thanks
no problem. will make one for you 🙂
@Sonia (Nasi Lemak Lover)Sonia, I used po chor. With the eggs, milk and cheese you can also add onion and bacon. my post here http://anncoojournal.blogspot.com/2009/03/quiche-bacon-onion_08.html
made this quiche last night and it came out great.. thanks.> 🙂
Hi Shanda, so glad to hear that :)Happy Baking!
Cheese, spinach, ham, shallots…what a great savoury tart!
Of course I had a lot of recipes I had to catch up on but this quiche is calling my name.Mimi
I love this too!
This look really yummy, I bet my kids will like this. But I a bit confuse what spinach should use, you use yin chor/ bayam or po chor?
I find myself not eating the crust much when I eat quiche. So I can make it without the crust ….then it becomes frittata ;p
没吃过这么特别的菠菜大挞,味道带点咸吧。。看了很开胃哦。。。。
Bookmarked this lovely quiche for tomorrow breakfast! Thanks for sharing.EL
I love recipes like this that are perfect for using leftovers!! Yours looks beautiful!!

我前一阵子一直在找这个食谱,因为看起来太太太好吃了。但是找到的都是 ang mo 的版本,有些担心他们的口味,现在终于看到你的食谱了。。。谢谢分享啊 Ann ^_^
Anncoo,Very nicely baked quiche. Looks so yummy.
The flavors here are wonderful that buttery crust is to die for~
Your quiche is looking delicious, Ann. Beautiful perfectly browned top as well. I'm a big fan of vegetarian quiches. This one with ham would make the hubby much more happy though.
