Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Classic Quiche Lorraine with Spinach and Ham.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a toasty 450°F (230°C), setting the stage for a delicious dish.
Step 2
Next, gently press the thawed puff pastry into the bottom and up the sides of a shallow casserole dish or an 8-inch pie plate, creating a cozy cradle for your filling.
Step 3
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, thawed spinach, salt, and pepper until everything is beautifully blended.
Step 4
Now, let’s build our layers! Begin by spreading a thin layer of shredded Swiss cheese evenly over the pastry crust, followed by a generous sprinkle of chopped ham for that savory kick.
Step 5
Carefully pour the egg mixture over the ham and cheese, making sure it’s evenly distributed to ensure every bite is packed with flavor.
Step 6
If you’re feeling adventurous, top it off with the remaining Swiss cheese and arrange some fresh tomato slices on top for a pop of color and taste.
Step 7
Place your creation in the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes, allowing the magic to happen.
Step 8
After that, lower the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue baking for another 30 minutes, or until the crust turns a lovely golden brown and the filling is set.
Step 9
The aroma wafting through your kitchen will be irresistible, and soon you’ll have a delightful dish ready to impress! Enjoy every delicious bite!.
