- 2 cups ham, chopped

- INSTRUCTIONS
- For the crust:
- Combine the crust ingredients in a medium sized bowl and mix well. Press mixture firmly and evenly into a 9 x 9 or equivalent (I used 8 x 11) oven proof pan, going up the sides at least 2 inches.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 400 degrees for 20 minutes or until slightly golden brown.
- Remove and reduce oven heat to 350 degrees.
- For the filling:
- Beat the eggs in a large bowl and add the cream, almond milk, nutmeg, salt, and pepper.
- Stir in the spinach.
- Spread the ham and cheese evenly over the par-baked crust in the bottom of the pan.
- Gently pour the egg mixture over the ham and cheese.
- Bake the casserole in the 350 degree (F) oven for 60 minutes or until the middle is set and doesn’t jiggle when shaken.
- Note: If your edges are getting too brown, cover the casserole lightly with foil in the last 15 minutes of baking.
- Cool for 10 minutes before cutting.
