Ingredients for this Hash Brown Quiche:

• 6 tablespoons butter, divided
• Seasoning salt or garlic powder (to taste)
• 6 large eggs, divided
• 1 cup diced cooked ham
• 1/3 cup finely diced red bell pepper
• ¼ cup chopped green onion (plus extra for garnish)
• 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
• 1 cup heavy cream
• Salt and pepper (to taste)

Directions for this Hash Brown Quiche:

1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9-inch pie dish or quiche pan with butter.
2. Prepare the hash brown crust: In a large bowl, mix the shredded hash browns with 4 tablespoons of melted butter, seasoning salt (or garlic powder), and a pinch of salt and pepper. Press this mixture evenly into the bottom and sides of the prepared dish to form a crust.
3. Bake the crust: Place the hash brown crust in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden and crispy. Remove from the oven and set aside.
4. Prepare the filling: While the crust is baking, whisk together 4 eggs and heavy cream in a medium bowl. Add the diced ham, red bell pepper, chopped green onions, and shredded Cheddar cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
5. Assemble the quiche: Pour the egg mixture into the pre-baked hash brown crust. Smooth the top with a spatula.
6. Bake the quiche: Bake the quiche at 375°F (190°C) for 25-30 minutes or until the eggs are set and slightly golden on top.
7. Garnish and serve: Allow the quiche to cool for a few minutes before slicing. Garnish with additional chopped green onions and serve warm.
