For an even crispier crust, par-bake the hash brown crust for an additional 5 minutes before adding the filling. Use high-quality bacon for the best flavor. Applewood smoked bacon adds a delightful sweetness. Feel free to substitute other cheeses, such as Gruyere or Swiss, for a different flavor profile. Ensure the potatoes are thoroughly dried to achieve a crispy crust. Moisture is the enemy! If the crust starts to brown too quickly, tent it loosely with foil during the last 15 minutes of baking.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Lightly grease an ovenproof pie pan. (5 minutes)
02
StepShred potatoes using a box grater or food processor, then place in a cheesecloth. Lightly salt potatoes, then wring out as much water as possible. Pat with a paper towel, then place in a bowl. (15 minutes)
03
StepMelt 5 tablespoons butter in the microwave, add to potatoes, and season with salt, pepper, cayenne, and garlic powder. (5 minutes)
04
StepAdd 1 egg to potatoes, then mix well. Pour into prepared pie pan; press potatoes into the bottom and up the sides to form a crust, making bottom crust fairly thin so that it will cook completely. Place on a baking sheet. (10 minutes)
05
StepBake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
06
StepMeanwhile, whisk 4 eggs together in a bowl; season with salt and pepper. Stir in cream and green onions. (5 minutes)
07
StepRemove crust from oven; reduce the temperature to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C). Sprinkle bacon into the crust, then top with cheese. Carefully pour egg mixture evenly over cheese. (5 minutes)
08
StepBake in the preheated oven until a fork inserted in the middle comes out clean and the quiche is puffed and golden, about 30 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes before serving.
