Ingredients
Scale
3 cups Hash browns (frozen or freshly grated)
4 ounces Prosciutto, diced
6 large Eggs
1 cup Milk
1 cup Shredded cheese (cheddar or Gruyère)
1 cup Spinach, chopped (optional)
1 teaspoon Salt
½ teaspoon Pepper
2 tablespoons Olive oil or butter
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C)
- In a large bowl, mix the hash browns with olive oil or melted butter, salt, and pepper. Press mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a greased 9-inch pie dish
- Bake for about 20 minutes or until golden brown, then remove from the oven and set aside to cool slightly
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined. Stir in diced prosciutto, cheese, and spinach (if using), then season with additional salt and pepper to taste
- Pour the egg mixture into the baked hash brown crust, spreading it evenly
- Return the quiche to the oven and bake for an additional 25-30 minutes until the center is set and the top is lightly golde
- Allow the quiche to cool for a few minutes before slicing and serve warm or at room temperature
Notes
Squeeze out excess moisture from fresh hash browns for extra crispiness.
Grate your cheese fresh for better melting properties.
Let the quiche cool slightly before slicing to hold its shape.
