Ingredients

• 3 cups Frozen hash browns
• 4 tablespoons Butter, melted
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 5 large Eggs
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 1.5 cups Diced cooked ham
• 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
• 0.5 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 0.25 cup Green onions, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish or quiche dish.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the frozen hash browns, melted butter, salt, and black pepper. Mix until the hash browns are evenly coated.

Step 3

Press the hash brown mixture firmly into the prepared pie dish, spreading it evenly across the bottom and up the sides to form a crust.

Step 4

Bake the hash brown crust in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until it starts to turn golden and crisp. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool slightly. Reduce the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C).

Step 5

In another mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and heavy cream until smooth and well combined.

Step 6

Sprinkle the diced ham, cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, and chopped green onions evenly over the baked hash brown crust.

Step 7

Pour the egg and cream mixture over the ham and cheese, ensuring it spreads evenly throughout the filling.

Step 8

Bake the quiche in the 375°F (190°C) oven for 30–35 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is lightly golden.

Step 9

Allow the quiche to rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing and serving.
