Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9 inch quiche pan and set aside.
  • First make the crust. Squeeze out extra water from the hash browns by putting them in a kitchen towel and squeezing out extra water. Then put them into a large bowl with the butter, egg, salt and pepper. Using your hands, mix it together until it is completely combined.
  • Transfer this to your prepared quiche pan. Flatten it out completely covering the bottom and up the sides of the pan. Press it firmly into place. Bake for about 15 minutes or until it has set. Remove from oven and set aside.
  • In a skillet set over medium heat, add the olive oil and butter. Cook over medium heat for about 5 - 8 minutes until they have completely softened. Add the spinach and stir until wilted. Remove from heat.
  • Whisk together the cream and eggs and season with salt and pepper. Stir in parmesan cheese.
  • Pour the egg mixture into the prepared crust. Evenly spoon over the spinach mixture. Bake in a preheated oven for 40-50 minutes or until it has set completely. Remove from oven and leave on a wire rack to cool.
  • Garnish with fresh chives. Can be served hot or at room temperature.
