Hashbrown and Goat Cheese Quiche

After I adding my cookie recipe I noticed that I had never added any "real food" only baked goods...can you tell what makes me happy, huh? So today I was making Martha Stewart's Hash brown and Goat Cheese Quiche, that I have grown to love. Breakfast would have to be my next favorite meal next to dessert:) I have had a couple of events that I was planning for and realized that they were all breakfast and didn't want to only be able to come up with quiche so off to the wonderful world wide web. I liked this recipe because it looked nice in presentation and had a few different ingredients than the norm. but I had some concerns that it might be a little blah so I added diced orange bell pepper and Canadian bacon.



Ingredients
2 tablespoons butter, softened, plus more for pan
1 package (1 pound) frozen hash brown potatoes, thawed
12 large eggs
Coarse salt and ground pepper
1 1/2 cups reduced-fat sour cream
1 package (4 to 5 ounces) soft goat cheese, room temperature
4 scallions, thinly sliced
Orange Bell Pepper, diced
Canadian Bacon, diced
Directions
1.Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Brush a 9-by-2 1/2-inch springform pan with butter. Line the sides of the pan with strips of waxed paper (the same height as pan); brush paper with butter.
2.Squeeze excess moisture from hash browns. Mix in a bowl with butter, 1 egg, 1 teaspoon coarse salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Pat into bottom and up sides of prepared pan, using a moistened dry measuring cup. Place on a rimmed baking sheet; bake until set, 15 to 20 minutes.
3.In a large bowl, whisk sour cream, goat cheese, 1 1/2 teaspoons coarse salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper until well combined; whisk in 11 remaining eggs. Pour into crust, and sprinkle with scallions. Bake until set, 45 to 50 minutes.
So, When is it done? Gently tap or shake the pan; if the filling jiggles slightly in the middle but not on the sides, the quiche is set.
Unmold quiche, and peel off waxed paper before serving. I personally like quiche better the next day and it is great when you are hosting to be able to make it a head of time.
