Ingredients
Scale:
4 cups frozen shredded hash browns (thawed)
2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar is a classic choice)
4 large eggs
1/2 cup sour cream
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the thawed shredded hash browns with 1 cup of shredded cheese, 4 eggs, and 1/2 cup sour cream. Stir until well combined.
Use cooking spray or a little oil to grease a 9-inch pie dish. Press the hash brown mixture evenly into the bottom and up the sides of the dish, forming a crust.
Bake the hash brown crust in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and crispy.
While the crust is baking, prepare the filling by mixing the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheese with your choice of vegetables (optional) and seasonings.
Once the crust is done, remove it from the oven. Carefully sprinkle the cheese and vegetable filling over the crispy hash brown crust.
Return the pie to the oven and bake for another 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Allow the pie to cool for a few minutes before slicing.
