Hash brown ham and cheese quiche

Ingredients 
 3 cups frozen loose-pack shredded hash browns, thawed
1/3 cup butter, melted
1 cup diced fully cooked ham
1/2 cup cooked bacon (optional)
 1 cup (4 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese
1/4 cup diced green pepper (optional)
 2 eggs
1/2 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper

Directions  
Press hash browns between paper towels to remove excess moisture. Press onto the bottom and up the sides of an ungreased 9-in. pie plate. Drizzle with butter. Bake at 425° for 25 minutes. Combine the ham, cheese and green pepper; spoon over crust. In a small bowl, beat eggs, milk, salt and pepper. Pour over all. Reduce heat to 350°; bake for 25-30 minutes longer or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Let stand for 10 minutes before cutting. Yield: 6 servings
