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.
