  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Black Pepper

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine thawed hash browns with melted butter, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Press the mixture firmly into a greased springform pan and freeze for about 15 minutes.
  2. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Once the crust is set, bake it for approximately 40 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
  3. While the crust is baking, whisk together eggs and milk in a medium bowl. Gently fold in crumbled bacon, shredded cheddar cheese, and green onions.
  4. Once the crust is pre-baked, reduce oven temperature to 375°F (190°C) and pour the filling over the crust. Bake for 35-40 minutes until set and lightly golden.
  5. Allow the quiche to rest for about 10 minutes before slicing.
