Ingredients
3 cups frozen hashbrowns
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
5 slices bacon
4 eggs
1 cup milk
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon pepper
2 tablespoons butter
Directions
1.
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish with some butter for additional flavor.
2.
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until it's crispy, then remove it from the pan and drain on paper towels.
3.
Place the hashbrowns in the pie dish, pressing them evenly into the bottom and up the sides to form a crust.
4.
Melt the butter in a small skillet and pour it evenly over the prepared hashbrown crust for extra crispiness.
5.
Bake the hashbrown crust in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes, or until it begins to turn a golden brown.
6.
While the crust bakes, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper in a large mixing bowl until well combined.
7.
Crumble the cooled bacon and sprinkle it along with the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the baked hashbrown crust.
8.
Pour the egg mixture gently over the bacon and cheese, ensuring even distribution across the entire quiche surface.
9.
Lower the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and bake the quiche for 40-45 minutes until the center is set and firm.
10.
Allow the quiche to cool for a few minutes before slicing to help it set further, then serve warm or at room temperature.
