Easy Cozy Cabin Roasted Potato & Bacon Quiche

So here we are in Tennessee, cozy cabin, a thick dusting of snow outside - no boys, no men - just me and my mom. 




What is the perfect lunch for girls that is super easy and cozy?  Quiche!  So we did what all moms do when on vacation - we sent the men and all of the boys to the grocery store to buy the ingredients! ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! 


List of ingredients:

2 Mrs. Smith's deep dish pie shells (in the freezer section)
12 eggs
1 1/2 cups milk or heavy cream (ooh la la)
2 cups shredded sharp cheddar
1 package Oscar Meyer Bacon Crumbles
Oreida Hashbrown Potatoes (freezer section)
Salt & Pepper to taste

First roast the hashbrowns in the oven for about 20 minutes - or cook in the skillet if you have access to some good ol' bacon grease.  We didn't have any with us so we roasted ours in the oven at 375 for about 20 minutes. 



Next, let those cool a bit and whisk together your eggs and milk, salt and pepper and then add in cheese.  Next add in the bacon crumbles...



Give it a good stir, pour into the pie shells and add in the potatoes on top...



Press the potatoes down so that they are covered in the eggy yumminess.  Place on a foil-lined pan...


(Finally my camera is charged and I can stop with the cell phone pics!)

Now lightly cover in foil and bake at 400 degrees for 1 hour.  Start checking at 45 minutes and take foil off to brown a bit.

This is what you'll get ...


Wasn't it worth it?



Yum!  Enjoy!
