How to Make Easy Hash Brown Quiche

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Press 2 lbs of frozen hash browns between paper towels to remove excess moisture.
  3. Season hash browns generously with salt and pepper (about 1 tsp each).
  4. Grease a 9-inch pie plate with 2 tbsp butter.
  5. Press seasoned hash browns firmly onto the bottom and up the sides of the prepared pie plate to form a crust.
  6. Drizzle the crust with the remaining 1 tbsp butter.
  7. Bake uncovered for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and slightly crispy.
  8. While the crust bakes, prepare the filling: Combine 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, 1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese, and 1 cup diced ham (or your choice of filling).
  9. Reduce oven temperature to 350°F (175°C).
  10. Spoon the cheese and ham mixture evenly into the partially baked crust.
  11. In a bowl, whisk together 4 large eggs, 1/2 cup heavy cream, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
  12. Pour the egg mixture gently over the cheese and ham filling.
  13. Bake uncovered for 20-25 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
  14. Let the quiche stand for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Makes 4-6 servings.
