Hashbrown Quiche-8

Hashbrown quiche is a traditional quiche made with a hashbrown crust instead of a pastry crust. This substitution makes the quiche gluten free, and I love the crispy potatoes more than the pastry crust I have used in my other quiche recipes. You can add any of your favorite cheeses or vegetables to a quiche made with a hashbrown crust. This time I kept things simple and just added asparagus and goat cheese, but mushrooms, spinach, broccoli, cheddar, and mozzarella would all be tasty options. To make a heartier quiche add some crumbled cooked sausage or bacon.

Cheddar cheese would have melted and browned more beautifully than the goat cheese, but my doctor told me to eliminate cow dairy from my diet while I battle some ongoing problems with my sinuses (I have been eating a lot of goat cheese and I miss cow milk cheese desperately).

Hashbrown Quiche-7

The potato crust on this quiche reminded me of a Spanish Omelet, and it was much easier to slice than a pastry crust. If you want to make a bigger batch of quiche, you can use a casserole dish instead of a pie pan - it would be a really easy (and delicious) way to feed a crowd.

Did you know that the most popular all time recipes on this site are for quiche? You can learn how to make an Asparagus Mushroom and Cheddar Quiche here, and a Roasted Tomato, Spinach, and Mozzarella Quiche here. And you can swap out the pastry crusts in these recipes for a hashbrown crust.

  • Lemon Ricotta Pancakes are a weekend brunch that will make a lazy Saturday morning feel special. The ricotta gives the pancakes a light, almost spongy texture. The ricotta flavor is mild, while the bold taste of lemon takes center stage.
