Directions

1

  • Preheat oven to 425ºF.
  • If using frozen hash browns, thaw and press out any excess
    moisture with paper towels. Press hash browns into pie plate or quiche pan to form a full crust.
    Brush crust with melted butter or margarine, making sure to cover the top edges of crust.
  • Bake
    uncovered for 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle 1 cup of shredded mozzarella
    cheese over hot crust.
  • Reduce oven temperature to 375º F. Cut each tomato into 8 wedges
    and remove the seeds. Arrange wedges over the melted cheese. In a blender or food processor, add
    basil leaves and garlic cloves, and process until coarsely chopped. Sprinkle this mixture over the
    tomatoes.

  • In a bowl, combine parmesan cheese, mayonnaise, 1 cup mozzarella cheese, and pepper. Spread
    this mixture over the top of the quiche.
  • Bake uncovered for 20-25 minutes or until the
    cheese is lightly browned and bubbly.
