• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese

Cooking Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. Cook breakfast sausage according to package directions; set aside.
3. In a skillet, brown the hash browns in butter until crisp.
4. Spread hash browns into the bottom of a greased 9-inch deep dish pie plate (about 1-3/4 inches deep).
5. Sprinkle cheese into center of the pie plate.
6. Arrange breakfast sausage around the edge of the pie plate at a slight angle, using cheese to help hold up the links.
7. In a bowl, combine the eggs, cream, onion powder, salt and pepper; pour into pie plate.
8. Arrange tomato slices on top of quiche; sprinkle with chives.
9. Cover sausage at edge of quiche with foil to prevent overbrowning.
