Steps

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Take the two frozen deep-dish pie crusts out of the freezer and let them thaw slightly according to the package directions.
Dice the onion and sauté it in a skillet with a little butter or oil until deep golden brown. Transfer to a dish.
Sauté the baby spinach for 1–2 minutes, just until wilted. Transfer to a dish.
Divide most of the shredded cheese, the sautéed onion, wilted spinach, and cubed ham evenly between the two pie crusts.
In a large mixing bowl or pitcher, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
Pour the egg mixture evenly over both crusts, covering the fillings.
Top each quiche with a final handful of the remaining cheese.
Bake 40–50 minutes, until the centers are completely set and the tops are golden brown.
Let cool 10–15 minutes before slicing and serving.

Substitutions

Gruyère → cheddar or Swiss
Vidalia → any yellow onion; Vidalia is sweeter when caramelized

Rachel's tips

Take the onion all the way to deep golden brown — that's where the sweetness comes from, and it's worth the extra minutes.
This is a double batch on purpose: bake both, serve one, freeze the other.

Equipment
