HAM AND CHEESE HASH BROWN QUICHE!

This is the EASIEST breakfast/brunch dish Ever!  Plus, you can add any ingredients you would use in an omelet....so whatever you have in the frig and pantry will work.

Ingredients:

CRUST:
One large bag frozen hash browns, thawed and completely dried (use paper towels to get all the water out)
3/4 stick of unsalted butter (6 tbl), melted
Ovenproof quiche or pie dish

Mix the hash browns with the melted butter.  Press into the quiche dish to make about 1/4 inch crust and make sure it goes up the sides all around. Place in a 450 degree oven for 20-25 minutes until the hash browns start becoming crisp and golden.  Remove from oven and lower temp to 350 degrees.

FILLING:
3 large eggs beaten
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup grated sharp white cheddar cheese
1/2 lb cooked bacon, crumbled
1 shallot diced sauteed until tender
1 red pepper diced sauteed until tender
1/2 cup diced polish ham
salt
pepper

Combine all ingredients in a bowl and pour into center of pie crust.  Return to oven and bake for 30-35 minutes until top is golden brown and puffed.  Let it rest for 5 minutes and serve.

This can be made with any number of ingredients.  The keys are the eggs, cream and cheese.  Any other vegetables, cheeses or proteins will work.  So easy and delicious!
