How to Make Goat Cheese Quiche With Hash Brown Crust
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Grease a 9x2 1/2-inch springform pan with butter.
- Line the sides of the pan with strips of waxed paper, ensuring they extend slightly above the rim.
- Lightly butter the waxed paper.
- Squeeze excess moisture from 2 cups of shredded hash browns using a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth.
- In a medium bowl, combine the squeezed hash browns with 2 tablespoons melted butter, 1 large egg, 1 teaspoon coarse salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Mix well to combine.
- Press the hash brown mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of the prepared pan, using a moistened measuring cup or your fingers to create an even crust.
- Place the springform pan on a rimmed baking sheet to catch any spills.
- Bake the crust for 15-20 minutes, or until lightly golden and set.
- While the crust bakes, prepare the filling: In a large bowl, whisk together 8 ounces of softened goat cheese, 1 cup sour cream, 1 1/2 teaspoons coarse salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper until smooth and creamy.
- Whisk in 11 large eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next.
- Pour the egg mixture gently into the pre-baked hash brown crust.
- Sprinkle evenly with 2 tablespoons of chopped scallions.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the quiche is set and the center is just slightly jiggly.
- Let the quiche cool slightly before carefully running a knife around the edge of the pan to release it.
- Remove the sides of the springform pan and peel off the waxed paper. Slice and serve warm or at room temperature.
