Potato Crusted Bacon Quiche

How to Make Potato Crusted Bacon Quiche

Author Robyn Webb says, “Quiche is the ultimate comfort food. But this time, we eliminate the fatty pastry crust in favor of something much more fun!! By using frozen shredded hash browns, we eliminate the fat and add some crispy crunchy texture that adds a double dose of comfort to a true favorite.”

Step-By-Step Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F. To make the crust, combine the crust ingredients and press into a 9-inch quiche or pie pan, covering the sides and bottom. Bake the crust for 10 minutes and remove from the oven and set aside.
  2. Cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat until crispy, about 3 minutes. Remove from the skillet and crumble. In the pan drippings sauté the onion, add the frozen thawed broccoli, and sauté for 3 minutes.
  3. In a bowl, combine the milk, cream cheeses, eggs, egg whites, parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix well. Add the cheddar cheese and cooked bacon.
  4. Spread the broccoli mixture on the bottom of the cooked crust. Pour over the milk mixture. Bake for 15 minutes at 425°F. Lower the heat to 325°F and continue to cook for about 35 minutes until a knife inserted comes out clean.
