  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   4      cups          Home Style hash brown potatoes -- (Shredded-Ore-Ida)
     1/3  cup           butter -- melted
   1      cup           ham -- diced
   3      large         eggs
     3/4  cup           half and half
   1      cup           cheddar cheese
                        salt & pepper to taste

Thaw the hash browns and squeeze out any moisture. (I nuke them on defrost and
then squish them in paper towels)
Press into a quiche pan or a 9" pie plate up sides as well to make a *crust*.
Drizzle edges to center with melted butter. Bake shell in a 425 preheated oven
for 25 minutes. In the mean time combine ham and cheese or fillings of your
choice. Blend the half and half , salt and pepper and eggs till well
incorporated. Remove shell from oven. Add ham mixture, then egg mixture. Bake
an additional 25-30 minutes reducing the oven temperature to 350 after
replacing in oven.

NOTES : This is very good with mushroom, onion ,and crumbled bacon or ham and
swiss or anything yummy you like in quiche. The crust will not look fully
browned, but that's okay because it will cook more after the filling addition.
