A savory quiche with a crispy hash brown crust, creamy eggs, melted cheese, and prosciutto, perfect for brunch, holidays, or cozy dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups frozen hash browns, thawed and squeezed dry
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup shredded Gruyere cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 4 ounces prosciutto, chopped
  • 1 cup baby spinach, roughly chopped
  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425Β°F (220Β°C) and grease your pie dish generously with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the thawed and dried hash browns with melted butter, salt, and pepper. Press the mixture firmly into the pie dish, forming an even layer on the bottom and up the sides.
  3. Place the pie dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes, or until the edges are golden and crispy. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
  4. In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, Gruyere cheese, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, nutmeg, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  5. Spread the chopped prosciutto evenly over the hash brown crust, followed by the spinach and cherry tomatoes. Pour the egg mixture over the fillings, spreading it evenly.
  6. Lower the oven temperature to 375Β°F (190Β°C) and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown. If the edges of the crust brown too quickly, cover them with foil during baking.
  7. Let the quiche cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
