Directions
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
Cook the spinach.
Drain thoroughly and squeeze out all moisture possible.
Heat butter over medium-high flame until foamy.
Add onion, zucchini and mushrooms, and sauté until onion is soft and translucent.
Add ham and spinach and sauté briefly to warm through.
Remove from heat.
In mixing bowl, mix together ricotta cheese and vegetables.
Add grated cheese and blend.
Add beaten egg and blend thoroughly.
Season to taste with nutmeg, salt and white pepper.
Grease quiche pan with just enough olive oil to coat.
Pour in mixture and smooth the top with a spatula.
Dot with 3 to 4 pats of butter.
Bake at 425 degrees F for about 30 to 40 minutes, until top is browned and knife inserted in center comes out clean.
