Hash Brown Quiche

This dish is one of my go to meals whenever I don't feel like slaving away over the stove. It is so easy because the crust is frozen hash browns and I always seem to have all the ingredients on hand. We usually have it for dinner but it would be a perfect breakfast dish. Surprisingly this is one my 3 year olds favorite meals. He eats every bite and usually wants seconds. (I don't know why it won't let me change the font size...)


Hash Brown Quiche

3 cups frozen loose-pack shredded hash browns, thawed

1/3 cup butter, melted

1 cup diced fully cooked ham

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

¼ cup diced green pepper

2 eggs

½ cup milk

½ tsp salt

¼ tsp pepper


Press hash browns between paper towel to remove excess moisture. Press into the bottom and sides of an ungreased 9-in. pie plate. Drizzle with butter. Bake at 425 for 25 min. combine ham, cheese, and green pepper; spoon over crust. In a small bowl, beat eggs, milk, salt and pepper. Pour over all. Reduce heat to 350; bake for 25-30 min. or until a knife inserted near center comes out clean. Stand for 10 minutes before cutting.`
