Ingredients

  • 3 cups frozen shredded hash brown potatoes, thawed
  • 1 egg, lightly beaten
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1-1/2 cups sliced zucchini
  • 3/4 cup chopped sweet red pepper
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1/2 cup cubed fully cooked ham
  • 2 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons dried basil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 3/4 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese

Method

  • In a large bowl, combine the hash browns, egg and Parmesan cheese. Press onto the bottom and up the sides of a greased 9-in. pie plate. Bake at 400° for 16-20 minutes or until golden brown.
  • Meanwhile, in a large skillet, saute zucchini and red pepper in butter until crisp-tender. Remove from the hear; stir in the ham, eggs, milk, basil, salt and pepper.
  • Pour into crust. Sprinkle with Monterey Jack cheese. Bake at 400° for 15-20 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Let stand for 5 minutes before cutting.
