Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Ham and Cheese Breakfast Quiche Bake.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 425°F (220°C).
Step 2
While that warms up, take a small bowl and squeeze the hash browns gently to get rid of any extra moisture.
Step 3
Then, mix those crispy shreds with some melted butter until they’re well coated.
Step 4
Now, it’s time to create your crust! Press this delicious mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 10-inch pie pan, forming a lovely base for your quiche.
Step 5
Pop the crust into the oven and let it bake for about 25 minutes, or until it turns a beautiful golden brown.
Step 6
Once it’s ready, take it out and sprinkle the diced ham and shredded cheese evenly over the crust, creating a savory layer that will melt perfectly.
Step 7
In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and heavy cream until they’re nicely blended.
Step 8
Pour this creamy mixture over the ham and cheese, allowing it to seep into every nook and cranny.
Step 9
Now, return your quiche to the oven and let it bake for another 30 minutes.
Step 10
Keep an eye on it; you’ll know it’s done when the custard is set and the top has a lovely light golden hue.
Step 11
Enjoy the delightful aroma filling your kitchen as you await this delicious creation!.
