Ham, Spinach, & Goat Cheese Quiche
I love quiche. And I honestly don’t see the point of putting a crust on a quiche. Don’t get me wrong, I love pie crust, but I just think it gets in the way of a great quiche. Plus, by skipping the pie crust, a quiche becomes as easy to make as making scrambled eggs.
This is the third quiche that I’ve posted on here. And I think it’s my favorite. In all honesty, it’s no surprise since it’s really a combination of the previous two recipes. Hubby was extremely excited that the recipe made two quiches so he could eat the leftovers all week long.
You could really use any combination of meat, vegetables, and cheese that you like or have on hand. I love using red bell peppers in quich (or anything, really). They’re full of flavor and brighten up any dish.

Ham, Spinach, Goat Cheese, and Bell Pepper Quiche
Yield: Two 9" Quiches
Ingredients:
1 Tbsp butter
1 medium onion, diced
4 cloves garlic
1 10 oz package chopped frozen spinach, defrosted and drained
Two 8 oz packages diced ham (or 16 oz leftover ham, diced)
2 bell peppers
6 eggs
3/4 cup milk
6 oz plain greek yogurt
1/4 tsp freshly ground nutmeg
salt and pepper to taste
1/4 cup shredded cheese (such as Gruyere)
1/4 cup crumbled goat cheese (or other cheese of your preference)
Directions:
Preheat oven to 375F. Lightly grease two pie plates.
Melt the butter over medium heat in a large skillet or dutch oven. Add onion and garlic and cook until fragrant, about 5 minutes. Add the ham and spinach. Cook until heated through, another 5 minutes. Add the bell peppers and cook for 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, yogurt, nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Stir in the cheeses.
Add the vegetable mixture to the egg mixture and stir to combine.
Divide into two pie plates. Bake for 40 minutes or until set.

This dish sounds great! I love sweet potatoes and black beans together, and the cilantro and lime sound like the perfect flavor additions.
My fiance isn’t the biggest fan of beans so I try to “sneak” them into dishes and this looks a great recipe to try out!
I absolutely adore sweet potatoes but wud have never thought of flavoring them with cilantro and lime. This sounds like it would turn out super delicious.
We always have black beans in the house too and they are just perfect with sweet potatoes too – yum!
Oh dear, I never thought of pairing these 4 fave flavors together. Amazing : )
Yum! I love black beans and I also love that they are super good for you. I think this would be an awesome quick weeknight dinner!
perfect combo of tastes. I would love to try this one.
Mmmm what a refreshing twist on sweet potatoes! These sound hearty and delicious!
What a great recipe and beautiful photo. Black beans and sweet potatoes (and cilantro, for that matter!) are a couple of my favorite foods, so I know that I’d love this!
Yum! I love black beans in salads. This sounds great!
And great pictures, too!
Made a half recipe and loved it hot or cold! Took to a work pot luck and a hit with everyone. Thanks for another great recipe.
