"This recipe is from Creme de Colorado cookbook and it is fantastic. Just as good on day 2 and 3.... Use whatever cheeses you have on hand, but the Swiss and pepper jack combo is excellent."

I've made this many times, I like to add cubed ham when I add the cheeses. 1-1 1/2 cups. I just buy one of those ham steaks at the grocery. My family loves it and it reheats really well for left overs.

I just tried this recipe and now its one of my all time favorites. I made it just how the recipe is written with the exception on using a flavored creamer instead of half and half. It turned out fantastic. Thank you for the great recipe.

I tried this recipe in September and have now got it to perfection! The main thing for this dish is to set the hash browns out on 8-10 papertowels for a few hours to get most of the moisture out. Press more on top. I used 1 cup of half-n-half, 4 eggs and 1 tsp. seasoning salt for a 11 inch quiche dish. I also added some red pepper flakes, garlic powder and green chilis. I baked the hash browns for 45 minutes (make sure you brush the top edges with butter) to make the quiche crispier. Thanks for a great recipe Teresa!
