Equipment

  • ovenproof pie pan
  • baking sheet
  • cheesecloth

Ingredients
  

Potato Crust

  • 5 medium-sized russet potatoes scrubbed and peeled
  • to taste salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 pinch cayenne pepper or to taste
  • 1 pinch garlic powder or to taste
  • 6 tablespoons butter divided

Filling

  • 5 large eggs divided
  • 4 slices bacon cooked until crisp, then crumbled
  • 2 green onions chopped
  • ½ cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
  • ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup heavy cream

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Lightly grease an ovenproof pie pan.
  • Shred potatoes, then place in a cheesecloth. Lightly salt potatoes, then wring out as much water as possible. Pat with a paper towel, then place in a bowl.
  • Melt 5 tablespoons butter, add to potatoes, and season with salt, pepper, cayenne, and garlic powder.
  • Add 1 egg to potatoes, then mix well. Pour into prepared pie pan; press potatoes into the bottom and up the sides to form a crust, making bottom crust fairly thin so that it will cook completely. Place on a baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.

Filling and Baking

  • Meanwhile, whisk 4 eggs together in a bowl; season with salt and pepper. Stir in cream and green onions.
  • Remove crust from oven; reduce the temperature to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C). Sprinkle bacon into the crust, then top with cheese. Carefully pour egg mixture evenly over cheese.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a fork inserted in the middle comes out clean and the quiche is puffed and golden, about 30 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Perfect for weekday lunches.
