ingredients
Crust:
- 1 (16 ounce) bag Cascadian Farm Organic Frozen Hash Browns, thawed
- 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons salted butter, melted
- Kosher salt, to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
ingredients
Filling:
- 6 large eggs
- 1 1/4 cups cottage cheese, blended until smooth
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 (10 ounce) package Cascadian Farm Organic Cut Spinach, thawed and well-drained
- 2 green onions, chopped
- 1/4 cup fresh dill, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 3 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Method
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 425°F.
Step 2
Prepare the crust: Place thawed hash browns in a clean tea towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out as much moisture as possible.
Step 3
In a bowl, combine hash browns with Parmesan, melted butter, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and salt to taste. Stir until well mixed.
Step 4
Lightly grease a 9-inch springform pan and place it on a baking sheet.
Step 5
Press the hash brown mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides (about 2 inches high) to create a crust.
Step 6
Bake for 40 minutes, or until edges are golden brown and crisp. Remove from oven and lower oven temperature to 350°F.
Step 7
Make the filling: In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, blended cottage cheese, and heavy cream until smooth.
Step 8
Use a tea towel or cheesecloth to squeeze out any excess water from the spinach, then stir it into the egg mixture along with green onions, dill, parsley, feta, garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
Step 9
Fill and bake: Pour the filling into the baked hash brown crust and spread evenly. Return the pan to the oven and bake at 350°F for 30–35 minutes, or until the center is set. Test doneness by inserting a toothpick or knife—it should come out clean.
Step 10
Cool and serve: Let quiche cool for at least 10 minutes before carefully releasing from the springform pan. Slice and serve warm or at room temperature.
