Hash Brown Quiche - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 (16 oz.) pkg. frozen shredded hash brown potatoes, thawed
1/3 c. melted butter
1 c. (4 oz.) shredded hot pepper cheese*
1 c. (4 oz.) shredded Swiss or Gouda cheese
1 c. (6 oz.) diced cooked ham
1/2 c. cream or milk
2 eggs
1/4 tsp. seasoned salt

Preparation

Grease a 9-inch pie plate with solid shortening or butter. Press thawed hash browns between paper toweling to remove excess moisture.
Fit hash browns into pie plate, cutting and trimming to make a solid crust.
Brush hash brown crust with melted butter; be sure to brush top edges, too.
Bake at 425\u00b0 for 25 minutes. Remove from oven; fill with layers of cheese and ham.
Beat cream with eggs and seasoned salt; pour over cheese and ham.
Return to oven.
Reduce heat; bake at 350\u00b0 for about 30 to 40 minutes, or until knife inserted near edge comes out clean.
