Here’s How To Make This Delicious Bacon and Hash Brown Breakfast Pie
It’s all about the hash brown crust
INSTRUCTIONS
Make the crust
Squeeze as much liquid from the thawed hash browns as possible and place into a large mixing bowl. Add cheddar, salt and pepper and stir together.
Lightly grease a pie pan with avocado oil spray or butter and evenly press the hash browns mixture into the bottom and sides of the pan.
Make sure not to leave holes within the crust to prevent any filling from leaking out.
Place the pie pan in the freezer and freeze for at least 1 hour.
Preheat oven to 425˚F. Place frozen crust until the oven and par-bake for 15 minutes.
Remove from oven and slightly cool.
Make the pie
In a skillet melt butter over medium heat, add onions, season with salt and pepper, and lightly brown them for 8- 10 minutes. Set aside to cool.
Meanwhile, in a large mixing bowl, combine eggs, thawed frozen spinach, and half and half.
Whisk together until light and fluffy.Add remaining ingredients: sautéed onion, cooked bacon, and shredded cheddar. Season with salt and pepper and mix well.
Pour filling mixture into the par-baked hash brown crust and place into the oven. Lower the oven temperature to 375˚F and bake the pie for 25 to 30 minutes, until the eggs have just set.
Remove the pie from the oven and run a paring knife around the edges (to help the crust brown), then put the pie back into the oven for an additional 10 to 15 minutes.
Remove the bacon and hash brown breakfast pie from the oven, sprinkle with fresh chives, and cool for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve!

DELICIOUS!!! The Bacon Spinach Hash Brown Pie…was fantastic. Thank you for sharing.
Oh my goodness! This was SO delicious!!! I had to substitute some uncured ham because we were out of bacon and I chopped up fresh spinach and it still turned out perfect. Thank you for another nutritious recipe!
I was REALLY hesitant about the sides browning on the last third of the cooking, but they totally did and I’m impressed! I didn’t have bacon so I used sausage. I also used whatever cheese I had on hand… Delicious!! Thank you!!
Seriously, this Bacon Spinach Hash Brown Pie is amazing. It is a crowd favorite for my family of picky eaters! I make this and the Cottage Cheese Egg Bake every week. Thanks Healthy Elizabeth!!
