Press into the bottom and up the sides of the pie plate or cast iron skillet. Bake for 25 minutes and remove from oven. Reduce heat to 350 degrees.

Meanwhile, in a small bowl whisk together eggs and milk. In a separate bowl, combine ham, cheese, and bell peppers.

Step 5

Pour egg mixture evenly over the baked hash brown crust. Top with ham and cheese mixture.

Step 6

Bake an additional 25 to 30 minutes or until golden brown and the eggs have set. Cool 10 minutes before serving.
