Ingredients
3 cups, shredded frozen hash browns, thawed and drained
2 tablespoons butter
3 large eggs, beaten
1 cup 1% milk
3/4 cup diced cooked ham
1/2 cup diced green onions
1/2 cup of reduced fat cheddar
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Directions
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
Gently press the drained hash browns between paper towels to dry them
as best as possible. In a 9-inch pie plate, toss the hash browns with
the melted butter into the plate. Press them into the bottom and up the
sides to form a crust. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until golden brown and
starting to crisp.
Meanwhile, in a large mixing bowl, combine the remaining ingredients.
When the hash brown crust is ready pour the egg mixture over it and
return to the oven.
Lower the oven temperature to 350 degrees F and bake for about 30
minutes until the quiche is light golden brown on top and puffed.
