Breakfast Quiche



I absolutely love the blog, "For the Love of Cooking". I am always looking to see what new recipes the author posts. This is one recipe that I have tried and love! It is great because it is fast, easy, and you can eat it whenever you want. I originally found this recipe on http://fortheloveofcooking-recipes.blogspot.com/. I have made a few changes/additions to it.

Recipe:
-1-2 potatoes or around 2 cups of frozen hash browns
- cooking spray or vegetable/olive oil
- 1/2 cup of Canadian Bacon, chopped
- 1 tomato, diced or 1/2 of a red bell pepper, diced
- 1 3oz can of green chiles, diced
- 7-8 eggs, beaten
- 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup of milk

Peal, cut and grate potatoes (If you are using hash browns, line a sprayed cooking dish with cooking spray and create a hash brown base around an inch thick). Spray pan with cooking spray or brush with vegetable or olive oil. Place grated potatoes on bottom of pan in order to make a sort of base or crust. Cook potato base in a 375 degree oven for around 10- 15 minutes or until soft. Remove from oven. Put bacon, tomato, green chiles, and cheese on top of base. Mix eggs, milk, and a bit of salt and pepper in a small bowl. Pour egg mixture on top of base. Cook at 375 degrees for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown. Make sure to insert a fork or knife into the quiche to check if it is done.

The great thing about this recipe is that you do not have to follow it exactly. If you have some veggies in your fridge that you would like to throw in, go ahead! If you want to put in a bit more cheese, you can. When I make this recipe I usually like to add red bell peppers instead of tomatoes. I also like to use frozen hash browns for the base, just because it means less prep time for me.
