Ingredients

Shredded hash browns

Mushrooms, sliced

Yellow Onion, sliced (optional)

Ham and Bacon

Gruyère Cheese, Cheddar, Swiss or a blend of a few

Butter

Milk

Eggs, preferably organic or farm fresh

Dijon Mustard

Salt and Pepper, to taste

Instructions

Melt the butter in an iron skillet or frying pan. Cook the onions until they become caramelized, approximately 8-10 minutes.
Add the mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes.
Butter the quiche dish and add the hash browns. Pat them down and go up the side of the dish to make a crust.
Spread the mushrooms and onions over the hash browns. Sprinkle the ham, bacon and cheese evenly in the dish.
Now, whisk the eggs, milk, mustard and salt and pepper.
Pour the egg mixture evenly over the quiche ingredients.
Bake in a 350°F oven for 35-40 minutes and cook until the center is set.
Slice and enjoy!

Tips

Feel free to omit the onions if you like.
This can be made in a traditional pie plate. I am using a 8.5 inch quiche dish and a 9.5 inch pie plate in this recipe. If you using a larger dish, just add an extra egg into your mixture.
Use different fillings like spinach, broccoli, asparagus, sweet potatoes, chicken sausage, etc.

Baker’s Tip

If you raise your own chickens, you might have an abundance of eggs available. Quiche is a great way to use all those eggs up. Make one for you and give one to someone else, like a friend or neighbor.
