This luscious Ham and Cheese Hash Brown Brunch Bake has the easy flavor of a restaurant quiche with no fuss in any respect. The glorious custard that binds the hash browns, ham and onions together is simplest enhanced by the pointy flavor of copious quantities of shredded white cheddar cheese. Serve this for breakfast, brunch or “brinner” and watch hungry eaters come strolling to the desk.
