Breakfast Quiche

My favorite thing to do on a Saturday morning is to wake up early, brew up a cup of coffee and make breakfast for my boys.  Of course they wouldn't care if I made pancakes or waffles every Saturday, but that's so boring!  I need variety in my diet.  I knew I'd be taking a risk with this one since the finished product would have specks of red and green.  It was a pleasant surprise that everyone really enjoyed it, even the baby grubbed!  No complaining during meal time = a good day for mom!  :)

This would make a great dish to bring to a brunch or even for Christmas morning.  You may want to drizzle on some hot sauce too.  Yum!

(pretty!)

INGREDIENTS:

3 C hash browns

3 TBSP melted butter

12 oz. sausage links 

6 beaten eggs 

2 C grated cheddar cheese

1/4 C heavy whipping cream

1/4 C chopped sun dried tomatoes

2 TBSP fresh chopped flat leaf Italian parsley

Salt and Pepper

 

DIRECTIONS:

 

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees.  In a large bowl mix together the hash browns and melted butter, season with salt and pepper.  Grease the bottom of a 9-in pie plate with cooking spray.  Press the prepared hash browns onto the bottom and sides of the pie plate.  Bake in the oven for about 20 minutes or until golden.  Meanwhile, cook the sausage links and cut into small pieces.  In a large bowl combine the eggs, cheddar cheese, whipping cream, sun dried tomatoes, Italian parsley, and the sausage.  Season with salt and pepper.  When the hash brown crust is done, pour the egg mixture on top.  Bake for 25 minutes or until the eggs are completely cooked.  A toothpick test will work fine.  Cut into pie like slices.  Enjoy!
