Breakfast Quiche With Hash Brown Crust Recipes

HASH BROWN CRUST BACON AND CHEDDAR QUICHE

• Squeeze as much liquid from the thawed hash browns as possible and place into a large mixing bowl. Add cheddar, salt and pepper and stir together.
• Lightly grease a 9" spring form pan with cooking spray and evenly press the hash browns mixture into the bottom and sides of the pan, making sure you don't have any holes within the crust (this is important to prevent any leakage)
• Place the pan in the freezer and freeze for at least 1 hour.
• Preheat oven to 425˚F.

• Pour filling mixture into the par-baked crust and place into the oven.
• Lower oven temperature to 375˚F and bake the quiche for 25 to 30 minutes or until the eggs have just set.
• Remove quiche from oven and run a paring knife around the perimeter of the springform pan. Loosen springform pan from sides of quiche and place quiche back into the oven for an additional 10 to 15 minutes. (this will help the crust get crisp on the sides)
• Remove quiche form oven and cool for 10 minutes.
• Slice quiches into wedges, top with sliced chives and serve.
