Ingredients

• 3 cups Frozen shredded hash browns
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 3 large Eggs
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 1.5 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 cup Cooked and crumbled bacon
• 0.25 cup Chopped green onions
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C).

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine the frozen shredded hash browns with 4 tablespoons of melted butter. Mix well to coat the hash browns evenly.

Step 3

Press the hash browns into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish to form a crust. Use your hands or the back of a spoon to press it firmly.

Step 4

Bake the hash brown crust in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until it is golden brown and slightly crispy. Remove from the oven and reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (177°C).

Step 5

In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, salt, and pepper until fully combined.

Step 6

Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, and chopped green onions evenly over the baked hash brown crust.

Step 7

Pour the egg and cream mixture over the cheese, bacon, and onions, ensuring it spreads evenly.

Step 8

Place the quiche in the oven and bake at 350°F (177°C) for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is lightly golden.

Step 9

Remove the quiche from the oven and let it cool for about 5 minutes before slicing and serving.

Step 10

Serve warm and enjoy!
