one refrigerated pie shell, uncooked
half of a package of frozen shredded hash brown potatoes
approximately one cup of cooked chopped meat (ham, left over roast, grilled chicken, etc)
approx 1 1/2 cups shredded cheese
2 eggs
This is my "leftover" lunch or dinner where I can use up leftover meat and even some veggies.
This quiche does not use a lot of eggs so cooking time is shorter, but I do precook the potatoes in a skillet, then mix in meat and 1 cup of cheese, vegetables if you want to use them (like ham, cheese and broccoli, and potatoes).
Put meat and potato mixture into pie shell and pour two beaten eggs over the top. Bake at 375 for about 25 minutes then top with remaining 1/2 cup of cheese and allow to melt.
Note: I ususually cook the entire package of shredded potatoes then save the remainer to use in omelettes and breakfast burritos during the week.
Excellent tip, thanks for posting.
