6 big eggs
1 and a half cups of heavy cream or half-and-half
1 cup of grated cheddar cheese
1/2 cup of shredded Parmesan cheese
1 cup of cooked ham or bacon, chopped (if desired)
1/2 cup of chopped green onions
1/2 cup of diced bell peppers
Add salt and pepper according to your preference.
Fresh chives or parsley, finely chopped (for decoration)
Guidelines:
Heat the oven before using it.
Heat your oven to 425°F (220°C) before using it.
Make the base:
In a big bowl, mix together the grated potatoes, melted butter, salt, and pepper.
Press the mixture of hash browns firmly into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie dish or a springform pan to make the crust.
Put the crust in the oven that has been preheated and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until it becomes golden brown and crispy.
Get the filling ready.
While the pie crust is baking, mix the eggs, cream, salt, and pepper in a big bowl.
Add the cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, cooked ham or bacon (if using), green onions, and bell peppers.
Make the Quiche.
Lower the oven heat to 350°F (175°C) when the crust is done.
Pour the beaten eggs into the cooked hash brown crust.
Cook in the oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the quiche is firm and the top is a golden brown color.
Chill and Serve:
Let the quiche cool for around 10 minutes before cutting it.
Add some freshly cut chives or parsley on top.
Advice:
Personalize the filling: You can add your favorite ingredients to the filling, like cooked mushrooms, spinach, or various cheeses.
Avoid a wet crust by thoroughly draining the hash browns before pressing them into the dish.
Suggested serving ideas: This quiche goes nicely with a simple green salad or some fruit on the side for a full meal.
