This hash brown crust bacon quiche elevates humble potatoes to a new gold standard as a crispy quiche crust. With bacon, mozzarella, and Cheddar cheese, it's perfect to take for weekday lunches.

Ingredients

5 medium-sized russet potatoes
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 pinch cayenne pepper
1 pinch garlic powder
6 tablespoons butter
5 large eggs
4 slices bacon
2 greens onions
0.5 cups sharp Cheddar cheese
0.5 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1 cup heavy cream

Instructions

1

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Lightly grease an ovenproof pie pan.
2

Shred potatoes, then place in a cheesecloth. Lightly salt potatoes, then wring out as much water as possible. Pat with a paper towel, then place in a bowl.
3

Melt 5 tablespoons butter, add to potatoes, and season with salt, pepper, cayenne, and garlic powder.
4

Add 1 egg to potatoes, then mix well. Pour into prepared pie pan; press potatoes into the bottom and up the sides to form a crust, making bottom crust fairly thin so that it will cook completely. Place on a baking sheet.
5

Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
6

Meanwhile, whisk 4 eggs together in a bowl; season with salt and pepper. Stir in cream and green onions.
7

Remove crust from oven; reduce the temperature 350 degrees F (180 degrees C). Sprinkle bacon into the crust, then top with cheese. Carefully pour egg mixture evenly over cheese carefully.
8

Bake in the preheated oven until a fork inserted in the middle comes out clean and the quiche is puffed and golden, about 30 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes before serving.
