Ingredients

Makes 6 Servings 1x 2x 4x
  • 4 cups frozen shredded hash browns thawed
  • 3/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese divided
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 6 large eggs

  • 1 cup cubed hard salami or sopressata
  • 1/2 cup Marinated Artichoke Hearts roughly chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F and spray a 9-inch pie dish with non-stick cooking spray.

  5. Pour in the egg mixture and top with the remaining salami or sopressata, artichoke hearts, sliced olives, chives and remaining mozzarella.
  6. Transfer to the oven to bake for 45-50 minutes until the center of the quiche is set.

  8. Enjoy!
     

Chef's Note

Place the thawed hash browns in a clean kitchen towel, gather the edges and twist to remove the most moisture from the potatoes.
