Macho Quiche

I make Quiche pretty much every holiday. It’s seems difficult and fancy but it really comes together super quick. This quiche is great to make in the morning and you can eat it all day, for breakfast, lunch or dinner! Plus all the goodies inside make it strong and sturdy and something all my boys adore!

Serves: 6
Prep time: 20 minutes
Cook time: 1 hr 5 minutes

WHAT YOU’LL NEED:

1 package (about 3 cups) shredded hash browns
1 T extra virgin olive oil
3 T butter
4 eggs, beaten
1 c half & half
1 lb bulk italian sausage crumbled
½ c onions, diced
3/4 c diced asparagus
1 c shredded cheddar
½ t paprika
S&P

WHAT TO DO:
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Heat a large skillet over medium high heat. Add in your sausage and cook until browned, about 8-10 minutes. Remove sausage with a slotted spoon and place allow to cool on a plate. In the same pan add in the olive oil and butter. Once the butter has melted, add in your hash brows. Toss to coat well with butter mixture and season with paprika and S&P.

Grab a 9 inch pie plate and pour in the potato mixture. Press them into the bottom and up the sides to form a crust. Bake until golden brown and just starting to crisp, about 25 mintues.

Meanwhile, in a large mixing bowl, combine the eggs, half & half, sausage, onions, asparagus, cheese, and season with salt and pepper. When your hash brown crust is ready ladle the egg mixture over the crust and return it to the oven. Drop the temperature to 350 degrees and bake for 40-45 minutes until golden and puffy.
