Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Unroll the pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim and crimp the edges if desired.
Line the crust with parchment paper and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Blind bake for 10 minutes, then remove weights and paper. Bake for another 5 minutes until lightly golden. Remove from oven and let cool slightly.
In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, and heavy cream until smooth. Season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg.
Sprinkle half of the cheese evenly over the bottom of the crust. Top with ham, spinach, and scallions.
Pour the egg mixture over the fillings, then scatter the remaining cheese on top.
Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the center is just set and the top is lightly golden.
Let the quiche rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
