How to Make Clark's Quiche

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Place 6 slices of bacon in a large, deep skillet and cook over medium-high heat until evenly browned (about 8-10 minutes).
  3. Drain bacon on paper towels, crumble, and set aside.
  4. Cook 10 oz of spinach according to package directions. Allow to cool completely, then squeeze out excess water thoroughly.
  5. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in the same skillet over medium heat. Sauté 1 medium onion, chopped, until soft and translucent (about 5 minutes).
  6. Add 8 oz of sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 2 minutes, or until softened.
  7. Stir in 4 oz of diced ham and the crumbled bacon.
  8. Remove from heat and set aside.
  9. In a large bowl, combine the cooked spinach, 1/2 cup sour cream, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  10. Divide the spinach mixture evenly between two 9-inch pie crusts.
  11. Layer each crust with the bacon and ham mixture.
  12. Combine 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese, 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese, and 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese. Sprinkle evenly over the pies.
  13. In a separate bowl, whisk together 6 large eggs, 1 cup half-and-half, and 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley.
  14. Season the egg mixture with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper.
  15. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the pies.
  16. Place the pies on a baking sheet and bake on the middle shelf of the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the tops are puffed and golden brown.
  17. Remove from oven and let stand for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
