This quiche is an easy egg dish filled with zucchini, bell pepper, ham and cheese. With our garden produce, it's even more economical. It's pretty enough to serve to company, too.Betty Albee, Buhl, Idaho Ingredients:
1 egg, lightly beaten |
3 cups frozen shredded hash brown potatoes, thawed |
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese |

1/4 teaspoon pepper |
2 eggs |
1/4 cup milk |
