This is from the Ortho Spouse Holiday Brunch on Saturday:
1/2 package refrigerated hash brown potatoes (you can also use frozen but first thaw & squeeze dry)
1/3 cup butter, melted
1 cup diced ham
1 cup grated cheddar cheese
1 cup grated mozzarella cheese
5 eggs
3/4 cup half & half
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
Preheat oven to 425˚. Lightly grease a 9 inch pie plate. Firmly press potatoes into bottom & up sides of prepared pie plate to form crust. Pour melted butter evenly over crust. Bake 30-35 minutes; until lightly browned.
Reduce oven temperature to 350˚.
Sprinkle ham & cheeses evenly over potatoes. In a small bowl, whisk together eggs, half & half, salt & pepper. Pour over ham & cheeses. Bake 30 minutes, or until puffed & set.
