Easy Quiche with Hash Brown Crust
This hash brown quiche is a perfect easy breakfast or (holiday) brunch recipe. Or, make it as a meatless breakfast-for-dinner meal as a way to change up your usual dinner rotation. It’s not your traditional quiche with eggs baked inside a typical pastry crust in a tart shell. Rather than going the traditional route for the crust, instead I used a 16-ounce bag of frozen hash browns that I thawed before baking them in my 9-inch cast iron skillet to allow them to crisp up. Then just whisk together eggs, cheese, half-and-half, green onions for flavor, add bake until the eggs are set and the cheese is as golden browned as desired. Pure comfort food that my family devoured and ridiculously easy! Naturally gluten-free and vegetarian too.

Tips for the Best Hash Brown Quiche
I used shredded mozzarella, but any shredded cheese will work. When patting down the hash brown crust, make sure to take it up the sides of the pan. Don’t just pack it into the very bottom of the skillet. If your skillet is very full like mine was, place a baking sheet underneath the skillet just in case of a slight bubble-over so it’s contained on the baking sheet and not on the bottom of your oven; the quiche rises slightly during baking.
