Eggs, cream, and pepper in a mixing bowl, with spinach, ham, and cheese in bowls nearby on a white countertop.

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Gently press the pie crust into a 9-inch pie pan, and crimp the edges for a nice finish.

Add the cheese, ham, and spinach to the egg mixture and combine before pouring into pie shell.

Or, layer the ham, spinach, and Swiss cheese evenly inside the pie crust. Pour the egg mixture over the top, letting it fill in all the gaps.

Place the quiche on the middle oven rack and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the center is set and the top has a light golden color.
