Ingredients
UnitsScale
3cups frozen shredded hash browns, thawed and patted dry
3 tablespoons butter, melted
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
6 large eggs
1/2cup milk
1/2cup heavy cream
1cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2cup chopped asparagus
1/2cup diced red bell pepper
1/4cup sliced green onions
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon paprika
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a 9-inch pie dish.
In a bowl, mix hash browns with melted butter, salt, and pepper. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and sides of the pie dish to form a crust.
Bake the crust for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Remove and let cool slightly.
In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, cream, garlic powder, and paprika.
Stir in cheddar cheese, asparagus, red bell pepper, and green onions.
Pour the egg mixture into the pre-baked hash brown crust.
Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 35-40 minutes or until the center is set and top is lightly golden.
Let cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
You can substitute other spring vegetables like spinach, peas, or zucchini.
Pre-baking the crust ensures it stays crispy and doesn’t get soggy.
Leftovers keep well in the fridge for up to 3 days.
