Upside-down Ham and Cheese Quiche

Ingredients

• 2 (12 ounce) packages frozen country style shredded hash brown potatoes
• 1/3 cup butter, melted
• 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
• 2 eggs
• 1 cup diced cooked ham
• 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack and Cheddar cheese blend

Directions

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Squeeze and drain any excess moisture from hash brown potatoes.

Stir potatoes and butter in a bowl; press mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 10-inch pie dish to make a crust.

Bake crust in preheated oven until lightly browned, 25 minutes.

Beat heavy cream and eggs in a bowl. Remove potato crust from pie dish and break apart; stir potatoes into egg mixture in a bowl. Layer ham and Monterey Jack cheese blend into bottom of the empty pie dish; pour egg-potato mixture over ham and cheese.

Bake quiche in preheated oven until eggs are set, about 30 minutes.
