INGREDIENTS:
For Hash Brown Crust:

• 1/3 cup Sam’s Cantina Style Salsa

• 30 ounces frozen hash browns, thawed, squeeze liquid out

• 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese 6 slices crispy bacon, minced

• 3/4 teaspoon sea salt

• 1/2 teaspoon granulated garlic

For Filling:

• 1/3 cup Sam’s Fresh Salsa Verde Salsa 6 large eggs

• 1/3 cup heavy cream

• 1/2 teaspoon sea salt

• 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander

• 1/4 cup chopped green onions

• 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro

• 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

• 1 cup shredded pepper jack cheese

• 4 slices crispy bacon, chop

• 1/2-inch pieces
  

For Garnish:

• Sam’s Fresh Cantina Style Salsa, Sam’s Fresh Salsa Verde Salsa, chopped green onion, and cilantro and/or cilantro microgreens.

DIRECTIONS:

1. Grease an 9-inch springform pan and line the bottom with parchment paper. Pan Substitution: Any 2.5 to 3 quarts casserole dish that has been completely lined and overlapped with foil or parchment paper.

2. Combine Sam’s Cantina Style Salsa, hash browns, cheddar cheese, bacon, salt, and granulated garlic. Pat onto the bottom and up the sides of the prepared pan. Place pan into freezer for 30 minutes or if needed overnight. Tip: Buy a package of precooked bacon! Look for a package with 9-10 slices!

3. Preheat oven to 425°F. Place frozen crust in oven and par-bake for 20 minutes. Remove from oven.

4. Adjust oven heat to 375°F.

5. Whisk Sam’s Fresh Salsa Verde Salsa, cream, salt, and coriander.

6. Stir in green onions, cilantro, both cheeses, and chopped bacon.

7. Pour egg mixture into par-baked hash brown crust.

8. Bake in center of oven 40 -45 minutes or until set in the center. Cool 10 minutes. Run a knife, along the inside edges of the pan, to loosen hash brown crust. Remove sides of pan and carefully transfer quiche off of parchment paper onto a serving platter or use the bottom of the pan as a serving plate. Tip: If you want a crispier crust, remove the springform pan’s sides and bake for 10 more minutes.

9. For a fun and festive look, top half of the quiche with Sam’s Fresh Cantina Style Salsa, and the other half with Sam’s Salsa Verde Salsa. Sprinkle with green onions, and cilantro and/or cilantro microgreens.
