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