to taste Salt
to taste Pepper

3 cups Fresh Baby Spinach can be omitted if desired.
4 oz Sharp White Cheddar Cheese substitution: yellow cheddar, Monterey jack, or gouda work well.
6 oz Canadian Bacon, chopped perfect for using leftover ham.
6 large Eggs
½ cup Fairlife 2% Milk substitution: use whole milk or half and half for added richness.
1 tablespoon Dijon Mustard introduces depth and tanginess to the dish.
1 teaspoon Paprika infuses a mild warmth and color.
½ teaspoon Onion Powder enhances the overall flavor profile.
½ teaspoon Salt provides necessary seasoning.
¼ teaspoon Pepper adds a touch of mild heat.

Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Toss the refrigerated hashbrowns with olive oil or butter, season with salt and pepper, then press the mixture into a deep dish pie plate. Bake for 25 minutes until golden and crispy.
In a skillet over medium heat, spray some olive oil and wilt the fresh spinach until just tender. Add the chopped Canadian bacon and sauté for an additional minute to infuse flavors.
Spoon the spinach and ham mixture evenly over the baked hashbrown crust. Sprinkle the sharp white cheddar cheese on top.
In a medium bowl, whisk the large eggs together with the Dijon mustard, paprika, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Pour this mixture over the assembled quiche, ensuring it covers the filling evenly.
Place the quiche back in the oven and bake for another 25-30 minutes, or until the center is set and lightly golden on top. Let it cool for 5 minutes before slicing.

Optional: Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or chives for an extra pop of flavor.
