O'Brien Quiche

"Substituting potatoes for a crust makes this quiche deliciously different! Serve it with cantaloupe slices in summer and quartered oranges in winter. Add real or imitation bacon bits for variety."

  1. I rated this so high for two reasons: 1, it was SO easy! 2, All of my brunch guests loved it! I did, however, use frozen hash browns in place of O'Brien potatoes. I also added some cubed ham with the broccoli, and used milk to mix with eggs instead of water.
     
  2. I loved this! So simple and very tasty! I doubled it--because I knew it was going to be good and I added some chunks of ham and swiss cheese to everything else. I will definitely make this again! Thank you!
     
  3. This recipe was a real "find." It couldn't be any easier to make! I microwaved broccoli, then chopped it. I added a small bit (one piece) of ready cooked bacon. I used a mix of cheddar, provolone, and mozz. cheese. I liked the creaminess the provolone gave it! My mixture looked pretty full in the pan, so I took a previous reviewer's suggestion and used an extra egg (4). This cooked very evenly and tasted great. The small bits of bacon went nicely with the broccoli and the potatoes are nice and tender in the eggs. This reminded me of a "Bisquick Impossible Pie," but this is an equally good alternative for when I'm out of Bisquick. I can see this recipe coming in handy often! Note: I served with a cantalope, grape, and canned peach fruit salad and a broccoli slaw with balsamic dressing and sunflower seeds. Thanks Elizabeth, for posting. Roxygirl
     
  4. This was a very good quiche, but kind of boring. I used tater tots for the crust, as that's all I had in the freezer. Turned out surprisingly well! Next time I use this recipe, I will add either bacon or ham, and use Swiss to give it a more distinct flavor. I also added mushrooms. Easy base recipe to add to!
     
  5. This is a great basic recipe. It has so many possibilities for adaptation. Ham would be good, tomatoes, onions, mushroom, etc. Really anything that you might put in an omelet or normal quiche would be good in this recipe.
