Cheesy Bacon Delight (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Crust

01 - 1/4 cup melted unsalted butter
02 - 3 cups of thawed frozen hashbrowns

→ Filling

03 - 1 tablespoon garlic powder
04 - 1 cup half-and-half cream
05 - 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
06 - 4 big eggs
07 - 1 tablespoon onion powder
08 - 6 slices of cooked, crumbled bacon
09 - 1/4 teaspoon salt
10 - 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

# Instructions:

01 - Turn your oven to 400°F (200°C) and let it preheat for a bit.
02 - Stir the thawed hashbrowns and melted butter together in a bowl. Press the mix into a 9-inch pie dish so it covers the bottom and sides.
03 - Pop the hashbrown crust into the oven and bake it for around 20 minutes until the edges crisp up and turn golden.
04 - Combine the eggs, half-and-half, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper in another bowl. Whisk them together.
05 - Once the crust is ready, spread the bacon bits and shredded cheddar cheese over it.
06 - Slowly pour the whisked egg mixture over the cheese and bacon in the crust.
07 - Lower the oven heat to 350°F (175°C). Bake the dish for about 30-35 minutes, or until the center is firm and the top is lightly browned.
08 - Let the dish sit for a few minutes to cool slightly. Then slice it up and serve!

# Notes:

01 - Skip the bacon and add cooked spinach or sautéed mushrooms for a vegetarian twist. You can also try different cheeses for new flavors.
02 - If you need it gluten-free, make sure the hashbrowns are labeled as certified gluten-free.
