Green Eggs and Ham Quiche

For the crust:

4 cups of Frozen Shredded Hash Browns, thawed

1 Tbs. Oil (I used Grapeseed Oil, but Olive, Canola, etc. would work fine)

Salt and Pepper, to taste

• Toss together the thawed hash browns, oil and seasonings.

• Press into a 9 x 13 pan.

For the filling:

8 oz. of fresh spinach

1 cup smoked ham or breakfast sausage

10 eggs

2 2/3 cups of milk

Salt and Pepper to taste

To make the filling:

• Process eggs. Add fresh spinach. Puree until smooth.

• Add milk to the spinach/egg mixture and puree until combined.

• Season with salt and pepper, set aside.

To assemble the Quiche:

• In the shredded hash brown lined pan, sprinkle with ham (or sausage).

• Pour the spinach/egg custard over the hash brown and ham or sausage layer.

• Bake at 325º F. for about 55 minutes, then check for doneness. A knife inserted in the middle should come out clean.

Quick Crustless Quiche

8 slices bacon

4 oz mozzarella cheese, shredded

2 tablespoons butter, melted

4 eggs, beaten

1/4 cup finely chopped onion

1 teaspoon salt

Black pepper to taste

1/2 cup flour

1 1/2 cups milk

First, melt your butter and set it aside (this gives it a chance to cool). Then, fry up your 8 slices of bacon (NOT in the butter!). This is the most time-consuming part of this recipe (i.e. this is an easy recipe).

Then finely dice the onion. I like it very fine.

In a mixing bowl, combine the eggs, butter, onion, salt, flour, and milk.

Add freshly ground black pepper.

Then crumble the bacon into your lightly greased pie pan, covering the bottom.

Then add the cheese. I like mozzarella, but the original recipe called for Swiss. The cheese and bacon at the bottom serves as your "crust."

Then gently pour the egg mixture over your "crust." Go slowly so that the bacon and cheese does not mix with the rest and stays on the bottom (but if it mixes, no biggie really).

Then put it in the oven! 350 degrees for 35 minutes, or until set.

Enjoy this quiche hot out of the oven or chilled. This recipe is versatile, so feel free to add broccoli, sausage, tomato, or ham...or whatever! My recent favorite addition is 5 oz of spinach.
