Ingredients
- 2 Cups Frozen Hash Browns
- 1/3 Cup Melted Butter
- 4 Large Eggs
- 1 Cup Heavy Cream
- 1 Cup Diced Ham
- 1 1/2 Cups Sharp Cheddar Cheese
- 1/4 Cup Diced Onion
- 1/2 Tsp Salt
- 1/4 Tsp Black Pepper
- 1/8 Tsp Cayenne Pepper
Instructions
- Prepare the Crust First, preheat your oven to 425 degrees. Press the thawed hash browns into your pie plate. Pour melted butter over the potatoes. Bake them until they are golden and firm.
- Mix the Filling Whisk your eggs and heavy cream in a bowl. Add the salt, pepper, and cayenne. Stir in your diced ham and chopped onions. Make sure the mixture is combined well.
- Add the Cheese Sprinkle half of the cheese over the hot crust. This acts as a barrier for the liquid. It keeps the crust from getting soggy.
- Pour and Bake Pour the egg mixture into the pie plate. Top it with the rest of the cheese. Lower the oven heat to 350 degrees. Bake until the center is set.
- Cool and Serve Let the quiche sit for ten minutes. This helps the slices stay together. Cut it into wedges and enjoy your meal.
Notes

➜ Pre-cook the onions to make them very soft.
