Ingredients
Crust
- 4 cups frozen hash browns, thawed
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 Tbsp butter, melted
- 1 egg
- ¼ tsp sea salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
Topping
- 5 eggs, whisked
- ¾ cup diced ham
- 1¼ cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese, divided
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine the hash browns, 1 cup cheese, melted butter, 1 egg, salt, and pepper.
- Transfer to the baking sheet and spread into a large oval about ¼–½ inch thick, forming a small wall around the edges.
- Bake 25–30 minutes, until the crust is golden brown.
- While the crust bakes, stir together the whisked eggs, ham, ½ cup of the cheese, and the pepper. Carefully pour onto the pre-baked crust.
- Bake 10 minutes, until the eggs are set. Top with the remaining cheese and bake 2–3 minutes more.
- Top with green onions and cracked black pepper. Let set 2–3 minutes before slicing into triangles or squares.
