❤️ Why You’ll Love This Recipe: This hearty hash brown quiche has everything to love about a savory breakfast: potatoes, eggs, cheese and bacon! It’s also big enough to feed a crowd and can even be made ahead of time!

How to Make Hash Brown Quiche

The first step in this recipe is to cook your bacon on the stove. Once your bacon is nice and crispy, dab it with paper towels to remove excess grease. Then cut it into bite-sized pieces to fold easily into the egg mixture for the quiche.

Next, prepare your hash browns. You’ll need to peel and grate 2-3 medium potatoes to get 2 cups of potato. Choose a drier potato, like Russets, which brown up better.

You’ll want to pat the potatoes dry with a paper towel before frying in the pan so they crisp up better.

When whisking the egg mixture, make sure it blends together into a uniform texture. You don’t want any globs of yolk or whites in the quiche.

Assembling and Baking the Quiche

When you’re ready to bake, you’ll pour the egg mixture over the hash browns in the baking dish. You may need to move some of the cheese around to make sure it’s evenly distributed. Do so gently with a spoon or fork.

For baking, I recommend placing the quiche on a baking sheet. The mixture should not spill over, but the baking sheet will make it easier to put the quiche in and out of the oven.

The quiche is done when the center is a bit jiggly and the edges are firm.

Can I Use Whole Eggs?

Yes. This recipe uses a combination of egg and egg beaters for a lighter texture. However, you can substitute the egg beaters for whole eggs if you prefer.

Serving and Storing

Let quiche cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. When you’re ready to serve, top each slice with extra sliced scallions and shredded cheese.

You can store leftover hash brown quiche tightly wrapped in the refrigerator for up to four days.

To reheat leftovers, cut a slice and put on a plate. Microwave for 30 seconds at a time, until heated through.

You can also freeze the fully cooled quiche. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap or place it in an airtight container in the freezer for up to three months. Defrost the quiche in the fridge overnight before reheating and serving.
