My husband loves this dish. The hash brown crust is super delicious. I sometimes make 3-4 smaller individual pies, instead of one 9″ quiche. This recipe can also be found at gardengirlrecipes.com.

¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

4 large eggs

Step 1: Prepare Baking Dish

Preheat the oven to 400°F and spray a 9" round baking dish with cooking spray.

Step 2: Shred Potatoes

Peel and shred the potatoes.

Step 3: Prepare Shredded Potatoes

Mix the shredded potatoes with the coconut oil or melted butter, salt, and black pepper.

Step 4: Form Crust and Bake

Transfer the potato mixture to the pie plate(s), press down to form the crust, and bake for 30 minutes.

Step 5: Combine Eggs and Milk

Combine the eggs and milk in a bowl.

Step 6: Add Remaining Ingredients

Add the cheese, ham, and scallions. Mix well.

Step 7: Reduce Oven Temperature

When the crust is done, remove it from the oven and reduce the heat to 350°F.
