By á-3948

Ingredients

• 3 3 3 cups frozen hash brown potatoes, thawed
• 1/4 1/4 1/4 cup butter, melted
• 6 6 6 turkey bacon strips
• 1 1 1 small onion, chopped
• 3 3 3 eggs
• 1 1 1 cup fat free half-and-half cream
• 1/4 1/4 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/8 1/8 1/8 teaspoon pepper
• 2 2 2 cups chopped fresh spinach
• 1 1 1 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese

Preparation

Step 1

Press hash browns between paper towels to remove excess moisture; toss with butter. Press onto the bottom and up the sides of a 9-in. pie plate. Bake at 425° for 20-25 minutes or until edges are browned.

Meanwhile, in a large skillet, cook bacon and onion over medium heat until bacon is crisp. Remove to paper towels to drain. In a large bowl, combine the eggs, cream, salt and pepper. Stir in the spinach, cheeses and bacon mixture; pour into crust.

Bake at 350° for 25-30 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Let stand for 10 minutes before cutting.
