Hashbrown Quiche

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine grated potatoes, low-calorie cooking spray, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
3. Press the potato mixture into the bottom and sides of a greased 9-inch pie dish to form a crust.
4. Bake for 20 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. Remove from oven.
5. In a skillet, lightly spray with cooking spray and sauté mushrooms and onions over medium heat until softened.
6. In a separate bowl, beat together eggs and skim milk. Stir in sautéed mushrooms, onions, optionally the ham, and cheese.
7. Pour the egg mixture into the prepared hashbrown crust.
8. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 20 minutes or until the eggs are set.
9. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before garnishing with fresh parsley and serving.

Chef’s Tips

• Ensure grated potatoes are thoroughly dried before pressing into the dish to achieve a crispy crust.
• Customize your quiche with additional vegetables such as bell peppers or spinach.
• If you prefer a vegetarian version, simply omit the ham.
