This Mediterranean style quiche is made with farm fresh local eggs, baby spinach, tomatoes, mushrooms, kalamata olives  and feta cheese on top of a crust of crispy home fried potatoes.  It’s another super simple recipe AND it’s made in one pan.  It’s a nutritious breakfast that will satisfy your appetite and keep you feeling full.

The shredded potatoes in place of pie crust saves on prep time, and I happen to think that potatoes taste much better than pie crust.  I used a food processor to shred the potatoes and  added  them to a hot cast iron pan.  They cooked with the onions and garlic until they turned brown and crispy on the bottom.



I layered the potatoes with the vegetables, cheese and poured the egg mixture on top.   It was then  placed into the oven for 20 minutes.



Notice the bright yellow color from the farm fresh eggs which taste so much better than regular eggs, and they are better for you.  This quiche can be served for  breakfast  or dinner.   Slice leftovers into individual serving sizes for a quick breakfast during the week.
