Ingredients

• 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
• 3 large eggs
• 3 tablespoons butter, melted
• 3 cups frozen hash brown potatoes, thawed
• 1 cup cooked ham, chopped
• 0.5 cup milk
• 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper

• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 cup chopped green bell pepper

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).

Step 2

Press hash brown potatoes between paper towels to remove excess moisture. Transfer potatoes to an 8-inch pie dish and press into the bottom and up the sides of the dish to form a crust. Drizzle with melted butter.

Step 3

Bake in preheated oven until golden, about 25 minutes. Remove from oven and reduce heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 4

Combine ham, Cheddar cheese, onion, and bell pepper in a bowl; spread mixture over potato crust. Beat eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper in the same bowl; pour over ham mixture.

Step 5

Bake in oven until eggs are set, 25 to 30 minutes.
