Quiche with Hash Brown Crust

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

I love quiche, and that is why you frequently see it on my meal plan. Sometimes I put vegetables like broccoli in it and other times just ham or bacon.  This recipe is special because it uses hashbrowns for the crust, and it turns out delicious because the hash browns get nice and crispy.

INGREDIENTS:

  • 3 cups thawed hash browns
  • 4 T melted butter
  • 3 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 c half-n-half
  • 6 or 7 slices of cooked, cut up bacon (I used turkey bacon and cut it up with kitchen shears)
  • 1 T dried minced onion
  • 1 c cheddar cheese, shredded

Dry out your thawed hash browns really well between paper towels, and then mix with the butter. Then pat into a 9 inch pie plate, forming a crust on the bottom and sides.

I was so pleased with this recipe, and my hubby was as well, so I anticipate this being a new favorite at our house.

    I haven't ever frozen it because it gets eaten too fast, but I googled freezing quiche, and the consensus is yes. Wrap it well before you freeze it, and then thaw before reheating were some of the comments. I'll have to look for the Simple Potatoes because I always enjoy saving a step in the kitchen! Good luck!

    Do you think there would be a good way to freeze this? Also, a tip, I use the brand Simply Potatoes that are refrigerated so it eliminates the thawing and draining step!

    I make this all the time. It is actually more of a frittata and less of a quiche. I have used a variety of ingredients. Also, you can make this on the cooktop or a camp stove if an oven is not available. I must admit I thought I created this as I never watch Paula Deen 🙂

    This is a new favorite at our house! We are having it again tonight. I use 2% milk instead of heavy cream, though, and it still turns out great. Thank you for sharing!
