Quiches are about the most customizable food in the world—seriously the combinations of vegetables, meats, cheeses, spices etc. are endless. Then you have the all-important question of whether to bake in a crust or go crust-less!?! Can’t decide between Option A & Option B—choose neither and go with Option C—a HASH BROWN CRUST! Seriously amazing and it takes a savory breakfast quiche to a whole new level—check it out!

The first step is to press hash browns into a spring form pan. Make sure to squeeze the excess water out of the potatoes before placing in the pan. The hash brown crust needs to bake for about 25 minutes before the other ingredients are added.

The great thing about this recipe is that you can vary the ingredients! Use whatever vegetables, cheese or meat you have on hand. Or leave out the meat entirely and make it a vegetarian dish. After cooking the quiche, let it sit for about five minutes before removing the spring form pan.

This quiche looks so pretty and will be a crowd pleaser!
