# Instructions:

Set your oven to 425°F (220°C) and let it heat up while you prepare.

Grab a big bowl and combine the melted butter with the hash browns. Press it into a greased 9-inch springform pan, covering the bottom and sides. Bake for 20 minutes until it turns crispy and golden.

Whisk the eggs, heavy cream, salt, and pepper in a bowl until it's smooth and creamy.

Let the crust cool a bit, then scatter shredded cheese over it. Add the bacon or sausage if you're using it. Pour the egg mixture on top and sprinkle the green onions evenly.

Put the assembled quiche back in the oven. Let it bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the center is firm and the top is golden.

Let the quiche rest a few minutes, then carefully remove the springform pan sides. Sprinkle with fresh herbs before bringing it to the table while it's warm.
