Ingredients
  

For the Crust
  • 1 package Frozen Hash Browns Feel free to substitute fresh grated potatoes after squeezing out excess moisture.
  • 2 large Eggs The heart of the quiche, providing essential protein and a creamy texture.
For the Filling
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream Coconut milk serves as a delicious dairy-free substitute.
  • 1 cup Shredded Gruyere Cheese Offers a deep, nutty flavor; mozzarella or cheddar make excellent alternatives.
  • 4 oz Chopped Prosciutto The star of the show; can be substituted with bacon, ham, or smoked salmon.
  • 1 cup Fresh Spinach Optional but adds great flavor and nutrients.
  • ½ cup Halved Cherry Tomatoes Can be omitted or replaced with bell peppers for a different twist.

Equipment

  • Pie dish
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Whisk

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Squeeze out excess moisture from the hash browns using a clean kitchen towel and press them evenly into a greased pie dish to form a crust. Bake for about 20 minutes until golden brown.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and heavy cream until well combined. Gently fold in the shredded Gruyere cheese, chopped prosciutto, fresh spinach, and halved cherry tomatoes.
  3. Once the crust is pre-baked, pour the egg filling over it, spreading it evenly. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 30 to 40 minutes until the filling is set and the top is lightly golden.
  4. Allow the quiche to cool for about 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm alongside a fresh green salad or your favorite beverage.

Notes

Ensure to squeeze out moisture from the hash browns for a crispy crust. Pre-bake your hash brown crust until golden brown to guarantee it stays crisp after adding the filling.
