1 cup chopped onion Adds sweetness and depth; swap for shallots for a milder flavor.
1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms Provides an earthy flavor; consider bell peppers for a sweeter profile.
1 tablespoon canola oil Ideal for sautéing; olive oil can be used for a richer taste.
1 package (10 ounces) frozen chopped spinach Thawed and well-drained; fresh spinach works too, about 2 cups.

2/3 cup finely chopped fully cooked ham Adds protein; bacon or leftover chicken are great substitutions.
5 large eggs Creates a creamy base that holds everything together.

3 cups shredded Muenster or Monterey Jack cheese Offers a gooey flavor; try feta or cheddar for variety.
1/8 teaspoon pepper Enhances flavor with a hint of heat.

Heat the canola oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and sliced mushrooms, sautéing until tender and golden, about 5-7 minutes.
Stir in the thawed, well-drained spinach and chopped ham, cooking until any remaining moisture evaporates. Let the mixture cool slightly.
In a large bowl, beat the eggs until frothy. Gently mix in the shredded cheese until well incorporated.
Fold the cooled spinach and ham mixture into the egg and cheese blend, adding the pepper.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Pour the mixture into a greased 9-inch pie plate and bake for 40-45 minutes.

Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or chives for a vibrant touch. Allow to cool for cleaner slices.
