Hash brown Quiche

My mom needed this recipe, but I thought I would post it because its great for Christmas breakfast, esp if you have guests.

Hash brown Quiche
3 cups frozen loose packed shredding hash browns, thawed
1/3 cup butter, melted
1 cup diced fully cooked ham (I use turkey)
1 cup (4oz) shredded cheese
1/4 cup diced green pepper (I am allergic to green peppers, so I use onions)
2 eggs
1/2 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper

Press hash browns between paper towel to remove excess moisture.  Press into the bottom and up the sides of an ungreased 9 inch pie pan.  Drizzle with butter.  Bake 425 degrees for 25 min.  Combine ham, cheese, pepper and spread over crust.  In a bowl beat eggs, milk, salt and pepper (and garlic powder if you would like) and pour in pie pan.  Reduce heat to 350 degrees and bake for 25-30 min, or until cook through.  Allow to stand for 10 min before cutting.
