→ LET'S MAKE IT! ♥
1. Preheat the oven.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch pie plate with butter or cooking spray.
2. Prepare the hash browns.
Thaw the hash browns completely and squeeze out as much excess moisture as possible using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. This helps prevent a soggy pie!
3. Make the egg mixture.
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined. Add a little salt and black pepper if desired.
4. Assemble your pie.
Spread the hash browns evenly across the bottom of the prepared pie plate. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the potatoes, then pour the egg mixture evenly over everything.
5. Bake until golden.
Bake for approximately 40–50 minutes, or until the center is fully set, the top is golden, and the egg mixture reaches 160°F (71°C).
6. Let it rest and serve!
Allow the pie to rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing. This helps it hold together beautifully when served.
Cut into wedges and enjoy that delicious combination of tender potatoes and melted cheese! ✨
✧ LITTLE SECRETS FOR THE PERFECT HASH BROWN PIE
★ Remove excess moisture. Dry hash browns are the key to a firmer pie with a better texture.
★ Choose sharp cheddar. It gives the pie a rich, cheesy flavor without needing extra ingredients.
★ Want a crispier top? Sprinkle a little of the cheese over the top during the final 10 minutes of baking.
★ Make it your own. If you don't mind adding ingredients beyond the basic four, try chopped green onions, cooked bacon, or diced bell peppers.
★ Check the center. Ovens vary, so use a food thermometer to make sure the egg filling reaches 160°F (71°C).
