Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp olive oil divided
  • 20 oz bag of refrigerated shredded hash browns
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • olive oil cooking spray
  • 3 cups fresh baby spinach
  • 4 oz Cabot sharp white cheddar cheese shredded from block
  • 6 oz Canadian bacon chopped
  • 6 large eggs
  • ½ cup Fairlife 2% milk *you can also swap with whole milk, or cream
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • ½ tsp onion powder

  • ¼ tsp pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F and spray an 8x8 casserole dish with olive oil cooking spray.
  • Toss the hashbrowns with 1 tbsp olive oil and press into the bottom of the pan. Spray generously with olive oil spray and bake for 25 minutes.
  • Heat olive oil in a saute pan over medium heat and cook spinach until just wilted, then add the chopped ham and cook for about a minute more.
  • Spread ham and spinach over the prebaked hash browns, then sprinkle with the cheese.
  • In a medium-sized bowl whisk together the eggs, dijon, paprika, onion powder, salt and pepper.
  • Pour over casserole and bake for 25-30 minutes more until the center is set and top is lightly golden. Allow the quiche to cook for 5 minutes, then slice and serve.

Notes

Recipe Tips:
    • You can use a combination of egg whites and whole eggs to reduce the calories and fat, or add a couple more whole eggs to the mix for an added protein boost. 
    • Before cutting into the casserole, let it rest for 5-10 minutes to ensure the eggs are fully set. 
    • For a more indulgent version, swap the milk for half and half or heavy cream.
