INSTRUCTIONS

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 saute until onion
is soft and translucent. Add ham and spinach and saute 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

at 425 degrees F. for about 30-40 minutes, until top is browned and
knife inserted in center comes out clean.  NOTES    A rich spinach pie
with ham and cheese -- I ate this dish at Cafe  Le Rat in Middleburg,
Virginia, and was delighted to find their  recipe in Gourmet magazine
in the late 1970s. I have modified the  recipe somewhat from the
published version to make it less stringy  and sticky. : Difficulty:
easy.  : Time:  15 minutes preparation, 45 minutes baking and cooling.
: Precision:  approximate measurement OK.  : Pamela McGarvey  : UCLA
