Ingredients

• 2 cups shredded hash browns
• 1.5 cups broccoli florets
• 1.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 0.5 cups grated Parmesan cheese
• 4 whole eggs
• 0.5 cups heavy cream
• 0.5 cups milk
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoons ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9-inch flan or pie dish with butter and set it aside.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the shredded hash browns and cook for 5-7 minutes, until lightly golden. Spread the cooked hash browns evenly on the bottom of the prepared dish to create the base layer.

Step 3

Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Add the broccoli florets and blanch for 2-3 minutes until tender but still bright green. Drain and run under cold water to stop the cooking process. Pat the broccoli dry and distribute evenly over the hash brown layer.

Step 4

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir in 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese and the grated Parmesan cheese.

Step 5

Pour the egg mixture over the hash brown and broccoli layers, ensuring the ingredients are evenly coated.

Step 6

Top the flan with the remaining 0.5 cups of cheddar cheese, spreading it evenly over the top.

Step 7

Bake the flan in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden brown.

Step 8

Remove the flan from the oven and allow it to cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your Broccoli Cheese Hash Browns Flan!
