Gluten-Free Hashbrown Quiche w/ Broccoli Microgreens
Updated: Jan 6
This quiche uses hash browns as crust, bringing you a delicious gluten-free brunch treat. The microgreens are baked in with breakfast sausage, and cheddar cheese.
Ingredients (serves 4-6):
3 cups shredded potatoes
4 tablespoons (1/4 cup) unsalted butter, melted
salt and pepper
8 ounces (1 cup) seasoned Italian ground pork sausage
6 large eggs
1/4 cup heavy cream
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup shredded Monterey jack cheese
2 whole scallions , finely chopped
1-2 cups of super green microgreens
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Coat a 9-inch pie plate with non-stick cooking spray.
In a large bowl gently toss the hash browns with the butter to coat. Season with salt and pepper. Press the hash browns into the bottom and up the sides of the plate to form a crust. Bake for approximately 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
In the meantime, sauté the ground sausage in a skillet over medium-high heat, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until no pink remains, about 5 minutes. Set aside to cool.
In the large bowl you used for the hash browns, whisk together the eggs, cream, cheeses, scallions, and super green microgreens. Season with a dash of salt and pepper. Add in the cooked sausage crumbles. Mix to combine.
Pour mixture on top of the hash brown crust. Bake for approximately 30 minutes or until set. Let cool slightly, cut into wedges and serve.
