Ingredients

Quiche Crust

3½ cups shredded hash browns thawed if frozen
2 tbsp unsalted butter melted
1 tbsp olive oil
2 cloves garlic finely minced
¼ tsp salt
½ tsp ground pepper
½ tsp onion powder
¼ tsp ground cayenne pepper optional

Quiche Filling

4 lg eggs
½ cup milk
1 cup your choice of cooked meats, fresh herbs, & veggies diced small
1 cup your choice of cheese
¼ tsp salt
¼ tsp ground pepper

Instructions

Quiche Crust

Preheat oven to 425°F. Lay out hash browns on paper towels and gently press until no more water is released. The drier the hash browns, the crispier they will be at the end.
In a medium sized bowl, mix all crust ingredients together. Press into a 9" pie plate, pressing mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until potatoes are golden brown and crispy. Set aside and lower oven temperature to 400°F.

Quiche Filling

While crust is baking work on the filling. For this recipe, you can use a variety of your favorite meats, fresh herbs, and veggies to flavor the filling. Dice small and cook through as the quiche doesn't bake long enough for them to cook while in the oven, then set aside (note: cooking spinach prior to adding into the filling is optional). If you want a plain cheese quiche, use a total of 6 eggs and ¾ cups of milk for the filling.
Beat eggs, milk, salt, and pepper together until well combined. Mix in cheese and desired filling ingredients. Pour into pie plate and bake for 20-25 minutes, until the top has turned golden brown and center is firm. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!

Notes

Want to use fresh potatoes instead of frozen shredded hash browns? No problem! Simply shred russet potatoes, rinse well with cold water to remove excess starch, and dry well.

Leftover hold up well in the refrigerator, just cover cooled quiche and reheat in the microwave for about 30 seconds or heat in the oven at 350°F for about 12-15 minutes until heated through.

Please note nutritional information is based on using 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese and 1 cup of diced ham.
