I added about a cup of chopped spinach and a can of mushroom stems and pieces chopped fine. I squeezed both dry in paper towels before adding to the eggs. I kept the milk (2%) and cheese measurements the same. I didn't have ham so I used bacon. I used a 10-inch pie plate and cooked it a bit longer.

Our youngest daughter, who wasn't yet born when I made it, was with us for breakfast today & declared it \"one of the best recipes you've made\"! Not sure why the recipe now calls for \"whole milk\" as the original simply called for \"milk\" & I use 2%. I also use O'Brien hash browns as it saves time cutting up green pepper & you get the added onion which gives it an even more delicious flavor! Definitely a \"keeper\"!

What's nice about this recipe is that the night before the potato crust can be baked and the ham and green pepper can be diced.

Tonight is sauteed mushroom pieces and stems and onions, ham, and shredded colby cheese. I have also made this with mild italian sausage, bacon and breakfast sausage, almost anything will do! I usually use 4 to 6 eggs and season the crust with salt and pepper and sometimes cayanne pepper for a kick. I have just made the crust (seasoned) and served with bacon and eggs. I used to buy the frozen hash browns but now they are available fresh in bags, so I use one bag of the fresh and it works great! Don't be afraid to experiment with the ingredients!

My family loved these . I used extra egg and also tater tots as someone suggested. Tater tots seem to have oil or something added to them, I guess that's what holds chopped up taters all together.

I have been making this for many years, since the year it came out,18 years , maybe?

This was pretty good. I used bacon since that's what we had, added mushrooms and used red pepper since I don't like green peppers. I also used 4 eggs as other reviewers mentioned, but if I use more eggs next time I'll also make a thicker hash brown crust...it kind of got lost with the extra eggs.

It's difficult to critique\/rate a recipe if the directions aren't followed. Made this quiche yesterday for Sunday brunch. I'm still getting phone calls today for the recipe. The only change made was to shred my own russets. Used sharp cheddar cheese and baby pit ham. What's nice about this recipe is that the night before the potato crust can be baked and the ham and green pepper can be diced. I've been cooking for over forty years and agree that this is definitely a blue ribbon winner.

I got this recipe out of the TOH mag this was in and have made this more times and in many variations. Tonight is sauteed mushroom pieces and stems and onions, ham, and shredded colby cheese. I have also made this with mild italian sausage, bacon and breakfast sausage, almost anything will do! I usually use 4 to 6 eggs and season the crust with salt and pepper and sometimes cayanne pepper for a kick. I have just made the crust (seasoned) and served with bacon and eggs. I used to buy the frozen hash browns but now they are available fresh in bags, so I use one bag of the fresh and it works great! Don't be afraid to experiment with the ingredients! Next time I may try a florentine version with feta cheese!<\/p>","CommentId":25,"DateRated":"05\/13\/2010 18:03","GUID":"71fda65a76a44ecbaefbd5b638f480dd","MemberId":1101578,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"HappyPappyCook","SubmittedDate":"05\/13\/2010 18:03"},{"Comment":"
