eggs
milk
heavy cream
salt
black pepper

directions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish.

Press the thawed hash browns into the bottom and sides of the pie dish to form a crust. Drizzle with a little olive oil and bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and crispy.

While the crust is baking, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, salt, and pepper in a large bowl.

Sauté the asparagus and spinach in a skillet with a touch of olive oil until tender. Let cool slightly.

Add the sautéed vegetables, green onions, cherry tomatoes, and shredded cheese to the egg mixture. Stir to combine.

Pour the filling into the baked hash brown crust.

Reduce oven temperature to 375°F (190°C) and bake the quiche for 30-35 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is lightly golden.

Allow to cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
