I asked Siri to find a spinach and ham quiche recipe and this is the one she came up with! It was really good. Had to adjust the cooking time, though, even at 450 degrees F it wasn't quite done at the 30 minute mark. (to the person who put it at 350, 230 C works out roughly to 450 F!) More like 35-40 minutes cooking time. Had never used flour in a quiche recipe before but I used wondra for this recipe. The quiche had a really nice consistency.
