Hash Brown Crust Quiche Ingredients

Instead of Hashbrowns, UseFresh Potatoes: For a homemade touch, shred about 5 cups of russet or Yukon Gold potatoes. Rinse them well and squeeze out the moisture. Bake the crust for 25–30 minutes before adding the filling. It’s a simple swap that adds extra flavor!
How to Make Hash Brown Crust Quiche
You’re definitely going to want to add this fun twist on the classic quiche to your next brunch menu! It’s packed with protein, tastes amazing, and is naturally gluten-free.
Hash Brown Crust
Drain Water From Hash Browns: Spray a 10-inch spring-form pan with nonstick cooking spray and then set aside. Squeeze as much of the water from the hash browns as possible. Add the squeezed hash browns, cheese (if using), garlic powder, salt, pepper, and melted butter to a large bowl, then toss until the potatoes are evenly seasoned.
Freeze and Bake Crust: Press the hash browns into the bottom and halfway up the sides of the prepared springform pan. Really press it together to ensure there are no holes or gaps for the egg filling to leak out. Place the crust in the freezer for at least 1 hour. Once the crust is frozen, then preheat the oven to 425ºF. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until the edges of the hash browns begin to brown.
Don’t Have A Springform Pan?
Regular Pie Dish: Use a 9 or 10-inch DEEP DISH pie pan for best results. Grease it well, and consider using a metal pan for a crispier crust.
Filling
Make the Filling: While the crust is in the oven, prepare the filling. Whisk together the eggs, milk, and cream, then, add the cheese, bacon, green onions, salt, pepper, and paprika to the egg mixture and mix to combine.
Bake the Quiche: Pour the filling into the partially baked crust. Turn the preheated oven down to 375ºF and bake for 35-40 minutes or until the center no longer wobbles. Let the quiche cool for 10 minutes before opening the springform pan, slicing, and serving.
Storing And Reheating Leftovers
In the Refrigerator: Store leftovers in an airtight container or covered tightly with plastic wrap in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. To reheat, place in the microwave for 30-45 seconds, in the oven at 350ºF for 15 minutes, or in the air fryer at 300ºF for 3-4 minutes.
In the Freezer: Freeze leftover baked quiche for up to 3 months. Remove it from the springform pan, then wrap it in 2-3 layers of plastic wrap followed by a layer of heavy-duty aluminum foil. To
Reheat Thawed: Thaw overnight in the fridge, then bake at 350ºF for 15-20 minutes, until the center reaches 165ºF.
Reheat From Frozen: Cover with foil and bake at 350ºF for 35-40 minutes or until the center reaches 165ºF.

Fresh and Flavorful! With crispy rice, crunchy veggies, juicy mango, and creamy dressing, every bite of this salad is full of flavor and freshness!
Ingredients You’ll Need
Rice Options: All types of rice will work in this recipe, except for wild rice. You can even use leftover rice to make this tasty salad!
Spice It Up! Swap vegetable oil for chili crisp oil to add heat and flavor while helping the rice crisp up perfectly.
Tahini Tip! Tahini can seize up if there is too much water. If it does, add ½-1 teaspoon of sesame oil and whisk until smooth.
The secret to this dish is getting that perfectly golden, crunchy rice while keeping everything else fresh and vibrant. Toss it all together with tahini dressing, and you’ve got a winning salad!
Prep the Rice: Preheat the oven to 400ºF. Add the rice to a large bowl and toss it with the vegetable oil, sesame oil, and soy sauce.
Cook the Rice: Spread the rice out on a baking sheet, then bake for 25-30 minutes. Stir halfway through, until the rice is golden and crispy. Let it cool completely, then break it apart as much as desired.
Make the Dressing: Whisk the tahini, chili crisp oil, minced garlic, soy sauce, brown sugar, and sesame oil together in a small bowl.
Assemble the Salad: Add the cooled, crispy rice, shredded cabbage, red bell pepper, Persian (mini) cucumbers, avocado, edamame, mango, cilantro, peanuts, green onions, and mint to a large serving bowl. Drizzle with the dressing and toss to combine. Serve immediately
Other Crispy Rice Cooking Options
Air Fryer: Toss the rice with 1 tablespoon vegetable oil instead of 2, the sesame oil, and soy sauce, and cook the rice in an even layer in a preheated air fryer at 375ºF for 10-15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through.
Nonstick Skillet: Toss the rice with vegetable oil, sesame oil, and soy sauce, then add to a skillet. Cook over medium-high heat for 6-8 minutes until browned and crispy. Flip and cook a few more minutes for a golden brown second side, if desired.
How to Store Leftover Crispy Rice Salad
Make Ahead: The crispy rice can be prepared up to 5 days in advance, then stored in an airtight container in the fridge until you’re ready to make your salad.
Storing Leftovers: Once tossed together, the salad is best served immediately. Over time it will get soggy, but you can store leftovers for a day or so.
