Ingredients

For the Filling:

  • 8 ounces thick-sliced bacon
  • 1 (10-ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 onion, finely diced
  • 8 ounces fresh mushrooms, finely diced
  • 2 cups finely diced smoked ham
  • 1 (8-ounce) container sour cream
  • Salt and ground black pepper, to taste

For the Crust and Topping:

  • 2 (9-inch) unbaked pie crusts
  • 8 ounces Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
  • 8 ounces Cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 4 ounces Parmesan cheese, grated

For the Egg Mixture:

  • 8 eggs
  • 1 ½ cups half-and-half
  • 1 tablespoon dried parsley
  • Salt and ground black pepper, to taste

Directions

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • In a large skillet, cook the bacon over medium-high heat until crisp. Drain on paper towels, crumble, and set aside.
  • Prepare the spinach according to package instructions, then cool and squeeze out any excess moisture.
  • Heat olive oil in the same skillet and sauté the onion until soft and translucent.
  • Add mushrooms and cook until tender, about 2 minutes. Stir in the ham and cooked bacon, then remove from heat.
  • In a separate bowl, mix sour cream with the spinach and season lightly with salt and pepper.
  • Divide the spinach mixture evenly between the two pie crusts, then top each with the bacon and ham mixture.
  • Combine the three cheeses (Monterey Jack, Cheddar, Parmesan) and sprinkle evenly over the top.
  • In another bowl, whisk together eggs, half-and-half, parsley, salt, and pepper.
  • Pour the egg mixture evenly into both crusts.
  • Place the quiches on a baking sheet and bake for about 40 minutes, or until the tops are puffed and golden brown.
  • Let the quiches rest for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
