Country Quiche With Idaho Potato Hash Brown Crust Recipes

HASH BROWN QUICHE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Press hash browns onto the bottom and sides of a 9 inch pie dish. Drizzle with melted butter, and sprinkle with seasoning salt. Bake in preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until beginning to brown.
• In a small bowl, combine ham, onion and shredded cheese. In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, pepper, and a little seasoning salt. When crust is ready, spread ham mixture on the bottom, then cover with egg mixture.
• Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C.) Bake in preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until filling is puffed and golden brown.

COUNTRY QUICHE WITH IDAHO POTATO HASH BROWN CRUST

Steps:

• To make the crust: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Coat a 9-inch quiche or pie pan with cooking spray. Combine in a bowl all the crust ingredients except mozzarella. Season with salt, pepper, and hot sauce. Stir to mix. Press the mixture evenly on the bottom and up the sides of the baking pan. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes. If the edges of the crust begin to brown, cover with a piece of aluminum foil.
• Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle the crust evenly with the cheese. Return to the oven and bake just until the cheese melts, about two minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside. (You may want to run a thin, small knife around the edges of the crust to loosen it a bit.).
• To make the filling: Sprinkle the onions on the bottom of the crust. Arrange the shrimp evenly on the crust. Combine the half-and-half, eggs and mustard and whisk to blend. Season with salt, pepper and hot sauce. Pour the mixture into the prepared shell and top with the Swiss cheese. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, arrange the tomatoes evenly over the pie filling and bake for another five to eight minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle of the quiche comes out clean.
• Cool a bit before slicing to serve.
