Kroger Hash Brown Potato Quiche

I have not been successful with making a quiche. When I received my Kroger holiday coupon book which also contains recipes I was intrigued by this recipe. Plus I had most of the ingredients on hand and it's kinda hard to mess up potatoe's.

Cook time per the recipe is 50 minutes. Honestly, I would have cooked the hash browns for 35 minutes instead of the 25 or until brown. I cooked the quiche portion for 30 minutes instead of 25. I do not care for runny quiche.

Overall the recipe has a nice crunchy texture and very filling. It serves 8 and makes a great dish for Sunday brunch with Mimosa's. I used pre-diced ham that you find in the deli section instead of leftover ham which made the recipe quicker to prepare. This will be a keeper.

Hash Brown Potato Quiche

Ingredients:

• 3 Cups frozen hash brown potato slightly thawed
• 1/3 Cup butter melted
• 1 Cup cooked ham, diced
• 1 Cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1/4 Cup chopped bell pepper
• 1/4 Cup chopped onion
• 1 Jalapeno chili chopped
• 2 Medium Eggs
• 1/2 Cup 2% Milk
• 1/4 TSP Black Pepper

Directions

Preheat oven to 425F. Pat the potatoes over the bottom and up the sides of an ungreased 9" pie plate. Drizzle the butter over the potatoes, and pat them securely into place. Bake for 35 minutes or until slightly brown. Reduce oven to 350F. In a medium bowl, mix ham, bell pepper, onion, and jalapeno chili. Put into the potato crust. Sprinkle cheese over the dish. Whisk the eggs, milk, and pepper in a bowl until well blended. Pour over the dish. Bake for 30 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Refrigerate leftovers.
