Hash Brown Crust Quiche

Ingredients

This recipe makes 2 Quiche

• 1 bag Simply Potatoes hash brown

• 1 cup shredded Parmesan

• 1/2 cup chopped onion

• 1/2 cup red, yellow or orange pepper, chopped

• 1 cup sliced Mushrooms, optional

• 1 cup your choice of meat, sausage, ham or bacon

• 1 cup shredded Cheddar, I love smoked white cheddar

• 6 Large Eggs

• 1/2 cup Heavy Cream

• 1/2 cup Whole Milk or Half & Half

• 1/4 teaspoon Salt

• dash of Black Pepper

Instructions

1. Heat the oven to 400 degrees.

2. In a medium bowl, combine your hashbrowns, Parmesan cheese, and salt and pepper. Stir to combine.

3. Spray 2- 9 inch pie plates with cooking spray. Split the potato mixture in half and put each half in a pie plate. Spread the potatoes out evenly and press up the sides to make a crust.

4. Bake at 400° for 15 minutes, then turn the oven down to 350° and bake until the edges begin to brown.

5. While your crust is baking, sauté your onion, pepper, mushrooms and choice of meat. Sauté for a few minutes until the veggies are slightly softened. Don’t over cook!

6. Layer the sautéed veggie mix, meat, and cheese in the pie crust.

7. Mix the eggs, cream, milk, salt, and pepper. Either beat them by hand for 2 minutes, or use a mixer for 1 minute. You want the eggs to be light and fluffy.

8. Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables and cheese and into the pie crust. Fill the crust as much as possible, without letting the egg spill out.

9. Bake for 35-45 minutes, until the center of the quiche has firmed up.
