I love a good leftover recipe and this ham and spinach quiche is a quick and easy meal that can be made from leftover Christmas ham. A quiche is a savory custard pie, usually flavored with cheese, meat and vegetables. While this recipe is centered around ham and spinach, it is extremely versatile and can be altered based on what you have remaining from your Christmas dinner. Enjoy this ham and spinach quiche for breakfast, lunch, or dinner!
