A delightful and easy-to-make breakfast pie featuring hash browns, eggs, and cheese, perfect for a hearty start to your day.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Ensure the oven is fully preheated for even cooking.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined.
Whisk thoroughly to ensure a smooth mixture.
Add the hash browns, green onions, salt, and pepper to the egg mixture and stir to combine.
Mix gently to avoid breaking the hash browns.
Stir in 1 cup of the cheddar cheese into the mixture.
Reserve some cheese for topping to create a golden crust.
Pour the mixture into a greased 9-inch pie plate and spread evenly.
Grease the pie plate well to prevent sticking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until the center is set.
Check doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean.
Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese on top and bake for an additional 3-4 minutes until melted.
Allow the cheese to melt completely for a gooey topping.
Let the pie cool slightly before slicing and serving.
Cooling helps the pie set, making it easier to slice.
