This is a great recipe. Loved it. I used freshly grated potatoes but will make this again and again.

I have already submitted a review giving this 5 stars. I made it exactly as the recipe states. Wanted to add to my review that the next-day left overs are VERY good. I just made this on Christmas morning and everyone LOVED it!

Made this a couple weeks ago and forgot to rate it...This is a really great recipe! I followed Ratalouille's advise and made them in 2 popover tins. I used southwestern hash browns by simply potatoes. I used 4 eggs, 1 15 ounce can of diced tomatoes with jalapenos drained, 1 can each of black beans and corn rinsed and drained and left out the meat...these were scarfed down in 20 mins by all! Served it with sour cream and salsa on the side...Yum! Could see so many different things to change this up...asparagus, swiss and ham...etc...Thanks for such a terrific recipe! Will make this many, many times!

I made this recipe in muffin tins instead of a pie plate. I pressed each tin about half full with hash browns and made a well in the center, then continued with the recipe. My hash browns seemed a little overcooked, but adding the egg/ham mixture took care of that. These "mini" quiches were delicious and perfect for a light brunch. Great recipe!!! Thanks Engelis :*)
