Hash Brown Breakfast Pie

I make a lot of pies for my family, both savory and sweet. As I've mentioned, my husband is a pie man. I want to share with you an easy breakfast pie that is a recipe from my mom that she used to make us. The great thing about a pie is that you can put ANYTHING in them! It was our anniversary on Monday, so I was trying to come up with a quick breakfast to surprise the hubby and remembered I had not made this in a while. It hit the spot!

Decide what you would like all in your pie and prepare those items. I went with ham (I had some sliced ham I needed to use up), bacon, sauteed mushrooms, tomatoes and cheese. Whisk together in a bowl your 6 eggs, pepper, milk and ground mustard. Preheat oven to 425○ 

Start off by making your crust with the hash brown potatoes & melted butter. I like to use refrigerated Simply Potatoes.

Spray your pie pan with a cooking spray. Press the hash browns into your pie plate and up the sides; brush with melted butter. I like pepper with my hash browns so I sprinkled some on top. Bake for 20 minutes. Remove from oven and reduce your heat to 350○.

Fill it with your goodies (except eggs & cheese) in your pie crust.

Now top with cheese. Pour your eggs evenly into the pie crust.

Bake for 40-45 minutes until egg is firm. I use my convection setting, so mine is done in 20 minutes. Because really, would you want to wait any longer for this?

Go ahead and cut yourself a nice big piece!

It's like an omelet laying on a bed of hash browns except you don't have the stress about flipping over the omelet and ruining the shape! What will you put in your hash brown pie?
