INGREDIENTS

• 3 ounces fresh spinach or ¼ box frozen chopped spinach, thawed
• ½ small clove garlic, minced or 1⁄16 teaspoon garlic powder
• 2 teaspoons olive oil
• 2 ounces sliced cooked ham, diced
• 2 ounces Swiss or Gruyère cheese, shredded: ½ cup
• ½ cup evaporated skim milk or 1⁄3 cup powdered
• nonfat dry milk mixed with ½ cup water
• 1⁄8 teaspoon dry mustard
• 3–4 drops Tabasco or other pepper sauce
• Pinch of grated nutmeg
• 1⁄8 teaspoon salt
• 1 large egg
• 2 individual portions Pie Crust Dough (p. 28)

INSTRUCTIONS

Sauté the spinach and garlic in the olive oil until it is wilted but still bright green.

Add the diced ham and set aside.

Beat together the egg, evaporated milk, dry mustard, Tabasco sauce, nutmeg, and salt until smooth.

Roll out the chilled pie crust dough into two rounds large enough to fit in the pie plates with adequate overhang to form fluted edges.

Once the pie crusts are completed, divide the spinach/ham mixture evenly between the two pie plates.

Sprinkle the cheese on top and pour the egg mixture evenly over all.

Bake at 375°F for approximately 30 minutes, until the crust is slightly browned and the filling soft set.
