For a vegetarian option, omit the ham and add other vegetables such as mushrooms or spinach. Feel free to substitute different cheeses based on your preference. Gruyere or Parmesan would also be delicious. If you don't have leeks, you can use a small yellow onion, finely chopped and sautéed until softened. Rehydrated hashbrowns can sometimes be too watery. Ensure you squeeze out as much moisture as possible before baking the crust.

01
StepFor the crust: Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (232 degrees C). (Prep time: 5 minutes)
02
StepMix the rehydrated hash browns, shredded zucchini, sweet potato, and carrot in a large bowl. Gently press the mixture between paper towels to remove excess moisture. (Prep time: 5 minutes)
03
StepIn a 9-inch pie plate, toss the vegetable and hash brown mixture with the melted butter. Sprinkle 4 tablespoons of the cheese packet from the Steakhouse Hashbrowns over the mixture and blend well. (Prep time: 3 minutes)
04
StepUsing the bottom of a measuring cup, firmly press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of the pie plate to form a crust. (Prep time: 5 minutes)
05
StepPlace the pie plate on the lower rack of the preheated oven. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the edges are beginning to crisp. While the crust bakes, prepare the filling. (Bake time: 20-25 minutes)
06
StepFor the filling: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and heavy cream (or half-and-half) until smooth. (Prep time: 2 minutes)
07
StepStir in the chopped artichoke hearts, sautéed leeks, diced ham, shredded Swiss cheese, cayenne pepper, dried sage, and salt. Mix until well combined. (Prep time: 5 minutes)
08
StepOnce the hash brown crust is ready, reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and carefully pour the filling into the crust. (Prep time: 2 minutes)
09
StepBake for 30 minutes, then sprinkle the crispy fried onions over the quiche. (Bake time: 30 minutes)
10
StepContinue to bake for another 15 minutes, or until the quiche is lightly golden brown and firm in the center. The quiche will settle as it cools. (Bake time: 15 minutes)
11
StepLet the quiche cool slightly before slicing and serving. (Cooling time: 10 minutes)
