Hash Brown Quiche

This breakfast dish combines all the best parts of breakfast: potatoes, cheese, egg, and bacon into one satisfying dish. I modified the original recipe a bit by using fresh potatoes instead of frozen hash browns, cheddar instead of the mix originally called for, and bacon instead of ham. I also added a lattice from the leftover mac and cheese pie crust (which you are welcome to skip but did add a little something extra!). I also added a bit of adobo sauce to the egg mixture to kick up the heat a bit since I didn't have Jalapeno Jack cheese. In my head, the combination was perfect. I was thrilled when the reality wasn't too far off from my imagination!
