Hashbrown ala Jess

Ingredients

3 cups shredded hash brown potatoes (or a bag of simply potatoes)
1/3 cup butter, melted (I use smart balance butter)
1 cup diced cooked ham (I actually used shaved turkey breast from the deli)
1/4 cup chopped onion
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
(I use light or fat free, and I love the new kraft touch of philly shredded cheese)
2 eggs (or egg whites)
1/2 cup milk (Use skim or 2%)
salt and pepper to taste
OPTIONAL:
1/4 of a green pepper
1 tbsp minced Garlic
1 tsp onion powder
Directions

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
Press hash browns onto the bottom and sides of a 9 inch pie dish. Drizzle with melted butter (smart balance), and sprinkle with salt. Bake in preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until beginning to brown.
In a small bowl, combine ham (or turkey), onion, Green Pepper, garlic, onion powder and shredded cheese. In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, pepper. When crust is ready, spread ham (or turkey) mixture on the bottom, then cover with egg mixture.
Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C.) Bake in preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until filling is puffed and golden brown.
