Ingredients

8 shredded frozen hash brown potato patties
1/2 cup butter, melted
1 cup cubed precooked ham
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup shredded Swiss cheese
8 eggs
2 cups milk or cream
1/2 teaspoon salt

Directions

Place hash brown potato patties in greased 9-by-13-inch pan. Pour melted butter evenly over the surface of potato patties. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes. Remove from oven. Sprinkle potatoes with ham and cheeses. In a large bowl, beat eggs. Add milk or cream and salt. Stir. Pour mixture over cheeses and ham. Bake at 350 degrees for about 30 minutes. Serves 8.

Note: In the Deseret Morning News test kitchen, we used only 1/4 cup of butter and found the quiche was still rich and buttery.
