Hash Brown Quiche and a Thankful Heart

I hope that you had a very Happy Thanksgiving! We enjoyed the evening with my in-laws. The kids played and laughed, we ate and ate, and then headed home around 9pm. What fun!

I've been saving this recipe to share with you - it's an easy one that is great for breakfast, lunch or dinner.

Thank you Paula Deen, yet again, for a tasty recipe that my family loves!!!

So colorful and delicious!

This is a simple, yet delicious quiche that you can add any meat or veggie to. Here is the original recipe, as I've adjusted the recipe below to what we had on hand.

Hash Brown Quiche

Yield: 6 to 8 servings

Ingredients:

3 cups, shredded frozen hash browns, thawed and drained

4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) butter, melted

3 large eggs, beaten

1 cup half-and-half

3/4 cup browned sausage

1/4 cup diced red onion

1 roma tomato, diced

1/2 cup fresh spinach, sliced

1 cup shredded Cheddar

Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Directions:

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.

Gently press the drained hash browns between paper towels to dry them as best as possible. In a 9-inch pie plate, toss the hash browns with the melted butter into the plate. Press them into the bottom and up the sides to form a crust. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until golden brown and starting to crisp.

After browning the sausage, remove meat to plate. Cook the onions, tomato and spinach (or any veggies you prefer) in the pan on Med heat.

Meanwhile, in a large mixing bowl, combine the remaining ingredients. Stir in cooked meat and veggies. When the hash brown crust is ready pour the egg mixture over it and return to the oven.

Lower the oven temperature to 350 degrees F and bake for about 30 minutes until the quiche is light golden brown on top and puffed.

Perfection!

I have so much to be thankful for... here are a few of those things:

 New life, after stray dogs killed two of our laying hens

Fun times making cookies with a house full of girls!

Blessed to have Grammy and Grandpa here with us for a couple of weeks!

A healthy, happy family!

 God bless you and your family with peace and health,




PS - This one is for you, Momma...

I love you!

I tried my hand at a pecan pie this Thanksgiving and it was a hit! Not too sweet and oh so tasty! It calls for brown and white sugar instead of corn syrup. Mmmm...

I found the recipe on Allrecipes.com and it's a keeper!

Pumpkin, Chocolate, and Pecan Pie!!!
