Recipe Courtesy of Paula DeenServings: 6 to 8 servings
Cook Time: 55 min
Difficulty: Easy
3 cups, shredded frozen hash browns, thawed and drained
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) butter, melted
3 large eggs, beaten
1 cup half-and-half
3/4 cup diced cooked ham
1/2 cup diced green onions
1 cup shredded Cheddar
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
Gently press the drained hash browns between paper towels to dry them as best as possible. In a 9-inch pie plate, toss the hash browns with the melted butter into the plate. Press them into the bottom and up the sides to form a crust. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until golden brown and starting to crisp.
Meanwhile, in a large mixing bowl, combine the remaining ingredients. When the hash brown crust is ready pour the egg mixture over it and return to the oven.
Lower the oven temperature to 350 degrees F and bake for about 30 minutes until the quiche is light golden brown on top and puffed.

Just made your fabulous quiche. Sort of meshed the two recipes together, yours and the boys. I saute the mushrooms and onion in olive oil, which I added to the egg mixture. I used half the butter on the potatoes and baked the them prior to adding the egg mixture and then baked. My family loved it! Thank you Paula and the boys too.

This is delicious...however we made it a little healthier. We used skim milk instead of half and half. Great recipe and it is good for leftovers the next morning ![]()

Have made this recipe several times. When I make it for dinner I use chicken. Always a hit.

My family loves this quiche. I used crumbled sausage instead of ham one time then sausage and bacon another. This is the best quiche I have ever had!

I WOULD LIKE TO SEE SOME3 OF YOUR PROGRAMS THAT WERE ON TV WHEN YOU FIRST STARTED OUT. IS THIS POSSIBLE?

Love this! Every time I make it everyone says they love it too. Sometimes I add an extra egg so it will go a little further. Also, I usually don't have ham so I use venison summer sausage instead.

Yummy! This was good! I used fresh shredded hash browns because I couldn't find them frozen. When I spread this into my pie plate I thought for sure everything was not going to fit, but it did. Next time I'm going to bake the hash browns a little longer at the beginning. I baked them 25 minutes and the top edges got really crispy, but the rest stayed a little mushy. I'll probably used some foil to protect the edges and brown the rest a little longer. I'd also bake the entire thing a little longer too. For me 30 minutes just wasn't long enough. The center was still watery and runny. I threw it into the microwave for another 5 minutes and it was fine. Definitely a keeper. This could easily be adapted to any other filling items. I'd love to try swiss instead of cheddar. Or maybe some bacon or sausage. Hmm... now I'm getting hungry again!

We made this for a brunch to celebrate our grandson's Baptism. It was a hit! Thank you!

So easy!! Made it twice. Once with ham and once with bacon. I preferred the ham but both were delicious. Maybe I'll try sausage next time...

I shred fresh potatoes, blot the extra moisture and followed the recipe as written. Every time I serve this someone wants this recipe. It's excellent.

made this last night and everyone went back for seconds. I had heated up some of the leftover ham and no one wanted that. I will make this recipe again.
