Step-by-Step Instructions for Crispy Hash Brown Crust Quiche
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). In a greased pie dish or cake pan, press the frozen hash browns evenly to form a crust. Bake for 20–25 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
  2. While the crust bakes, crack the eggs into a mixing bowl. Whisk them together, then add the heavy cream, gruyere cheese, and chosen fillings. Stir gently.
  3. Once the hash brown crust is golden, pour the egg and filling mixture into it. Ensure an even distribution.
  4. Lower the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and bake the assembled quiche for 25–30 minutes, until set and golden on top.
  5. Remove from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
