Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 3 cups shredded hash browns (thawed if frozen)
- 2 tablespoons butter (melted)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 cup chopped asparagus
- 1/2 cup diced red bell pepper
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
- 6 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a 9-inch pie dish.
- In a bowl, combine hash browns, melted butter, salt, and pepper. Press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of the pie dish to form a crust.
- Bake the crust for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from oven and set aside.
- While the crust bakes, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté asparagus, bell pepper, and green onions until tender, about 5 minutes.
- In a bowl, whisk together eggs and milk. Stir in cheddar cheese and feta cheese.
- Spread the sautéed vegetables over the baked hash brown crust. Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables.
- Reduce oven temperature to 375°F (190°C) and bake quiche for 30-35 minutes, or until center is set and top is lightly golden.
- Let quiche cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
- You can substitute seasonal vegetables depending on availability.
- For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the vegetables while sautéing.
- This quiche stores well and can be reheated for up to 3 days.
