Name: Hash Brown Crust Bacon Quiche
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 55 min
Total time: 70 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 4 to 5 medium-sized russet potatoes, scrubbed and peeled; Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste; Pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste; Pinch garlic powder, or to taste; 6 tablespoons butter, divided; 5 large eggs, divided use; 4 slices bacon, cooked until crisp, then crumbled; 2 green onions, chopped; 1/2 cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese; 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese; I cup heavy cream

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Lightly grease an ovenproof pie pan.

Step 2

Shred potatoes, then place in a cheesecloth. Lightly salt potatoes, then wring out as much water as possible. Pat with a paper towel, then place in a bowl.

Step 3

Melt 5 tablespoons butter, add to potatoes, and season with salt, pepper, cayenne, and garlic powder.

Step 4

Add 1 egg to potatoes, then mix well. Pour into prepared pie pan; press potatoes into the bottom and up the sides to form a crust, making bottom crust fairly thin so that it will cook completely. Place on a baking sheet.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.

Step 6

Meanwhile, whisk 4 eggs together in a bowl; season with salt and pepper. Stir in cream and green onions.

Step 7

Remove crust from oven; reduce the temperature 350 degrees F (180 degrees C). Sprinkle bacon into the crust, then top with cheese. Carefully pour egg mixture evenly over cheese carefully.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven until a fork inserted in the middle comes out clean and the quiche is puffed and golden, about 30 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes before serving.
