Ham And Spinach Triangles Recipes

SPINACH AND HAM QUICHE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a 10-inch pie plate.
• Press spinach in an even, compact layer into the bottom of the prepared pie plate.
• Beat milk, ham, eggs, baking mix, onion, Cheddar cheese, and Monterey Jack cheese together in a bowl; pour over the spinach layer.
• Bake in preheated oven until quiche is set in the middle, 35 to 40 minutes.

HAM SPINACH QUICHE

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl toss together the ham, baby spinach, green onions and 1 cup of the cheddar cheese. Add this to your pie shell. In the same bowl whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, pepper, nutmeg and cayenne.
• Pour this over the ham mixture in your pie shell. Sprinkle on the other 1/2 cup cheese. Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 50 minutes or until center of pie is set. Makes 1 quiche.

HAM AND SPINACH QUICHE

Steps:

• Pulse together the flour, sugar and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a food processor. Add about a 1/3 of the chilled butter cubes and process until the butter is absorbed. Add the remaining butter and pulse until the butter is the size of peas, 5 or 6 pulses. Add the vinegar. Then, pulsing quickly a few times as you do it, add the ice water through the tube. Squeeze some dough between your fingers; it should just hold its shape without feeling wet. If it is crumbly, add more ice water a tablespoon at a time. Pulse quickly; do not overwork or the dough will be tough. Wrap the dough loosely in a large piece of plastic wrap, then firmly press and flatten the dough into a thin round. Refrigerate for 1 hour.
• Lightly dust a work surface with flour, roll the dough out into an 11- to 12-inch round, about 1/8 inch thick. Center the dough in a 9-inch pie plate, with an even overhang all around. Fold the edges and flute or crimp. Chill for at least 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Press a piece of foil over the chilled crust, fill with pie weights, raw beans or rice. Bake to set the crust, about 20 minutes. Remove the foil and weights and bake until the crust is light brown, 5 to 10 minutes more. Let cool slightly before adding the filling.
• Adjust the oven temperature to 350 degrees F.
• Sprinkle the onion evenly into the crust. Combine the cheese, ham and spinach in a small bowl and sprinkle it in an even layer over the onion.
• Whisk together the half and half, parsley, eggs, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl.
• Pour the custard over the filling and bake until the quiche is set, 35 to 50 minutes. Let cool at least 30 minutes before serving warm or at room temperature.

HAM AND SPINACH TRIANGLES

Steps:

• In a large bowl, blend together the spinach, ricotta, ham, Parmesan, tarragon, egg yolks, salt and pepper to taste.
• Place one sheet of phyllo on your work surface, covering the remaining phyllo with a damp tea towel to prevent it from drying out.
• Brush the sheet lightly with butter; lay a second sheet over top and brush with butter.
• Using a ruler and sharp knife, cut the pastry crosswise into 3-1/2-inch wide strips.
• Spoon rounded tablespoons of filling about one inch from the end of each strip.
• Fold one corner of the phyllo over the filling so the bottom edge of the phyllo meets the side edge to form a triangle.
• Continue folding the triangle sideways and upward until the end of the phyllo strip is reached.
• Press the edges firmly together.
• Repeat with the remaining phyllo sheets and filling.
• Place the triangles on lightly greased baking sheets; brush with butter.
• Bake in a 375 degree F oven for 15-20 minutes or until puffed and golden.
