A savory and satisfying quiche featuring a golden hash brown crust filled with ham, sharp cheddar, and a medley of colorful vegetables, perfect for brunch or a comforting meal any time.

Ingredients

Crust

  • 16 oz frozen hash brown shredded potatoes, thawed
  • 4 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • Pinch of salt and pepper

Filling

  • 6 eggs, beaten
  • 1 ½ cups sharp cheddar, shredded
  • 4 green onions, chopped
  • ¼ cup roasted red peppers
  • ½ cup diced ham
  • 3 slices bacon, cooked until crisp and crumbled
  • ½ cup half and half
  • Dash of hot sauce
  • Chives for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat and prepare crust: Heat oven to 450°. Spray a pie pan with baking spray. In a bowl, combine thawed hash browns, melted butter, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Press this mixture evenly into the bottom and up the sides of the pie pan to form the crust.
  2. Bake the crust: Place the pie pan in the oven and bake for 25 minutes until the crust is golden brown and crisp. Once done, reduce oven temperature to 350°.
  3. Prepare the filling: While the crust bakes, in a large bowl whisk together the beaten eggs, sharp cheddar cheese, chopped green onions, roasted red peppers, diced ham, crumbled bacon, half and half, and a dash of hot sauce until well combined.
  4. Assemble and bake quiche: Pour the egg mixture into the baked hash brown crust, spreading evenly. Bake at 350° for 30 minutes or until the center is puffed up and springs back lightly when pressed.
  5. Rest and serve: Let the quiche rest for at least 15 minutes before slicing to allow it to set. Garnish with freshly chopped chives and serve with extra hot sauce if desired. For make-ahead, reheat in a 325° oven for 15 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Make sure to thaw and drain hash browns well to avoid a soggy crust.
  • Use sharp cheddar for a flavorful and tangy filling.
  • Crisp bacon adds texture and smoky flavor—feel free to substitute with turkey bacon for a lighter option.
  • Resting the quiche before slicing helps maintain its structure.
  • Customize fillings with your favorite vegetables or meats.
  • Reheat leftovers in the oven rather than microwave to keep crust crisp.
