🥘Ingredients

For the Crust

2 cups frozen shredded hash browns
1 large egg
1 tbsp olive oil
1/2 tsp salt

For the Filling

6 large eggs
1 cup milk
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup diced bell peppers
1/2 cup diced onions
1/2 cup diced ham
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp garlic powder

👨‍🍳Directions

1Preheat your oven to 425°F.
2In a bowl, combine the frozen hash browns, egg, olive oil and salt.
3Mix well until the hash browns are evenly coated.
4Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish to form the crust.
5Bake for 15 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and crispy.
6While the crust is baking, in a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined.
7Add the shredded cheese, diced bell peppers, diced onions, diced ham, black pepper, and garlic powder.
8Stir until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
9Once the crust is done, reduce the oven temperature to 375°F.
10Pour the egg mixture over the hot crust.
11Return the quiche to the oven and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly.
12The quiche is done when a knife inserted into the center comes out clean and the top is lightly golden.
13Remove the quiche from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
14This allows the quiche to set and makes it easier to serve.
15Enjoy your hash brown crusted quiche warm or at room temperature.
