Ingredients
- cooking spray
- 3 ounces baby arugula
- 2 tablespoons butter softened, plus more for pan
- 1 pound package frozen hash brown potatoes thawed
- 8 large eggs
- sea salt and ground pepper
- ½ cup light sour cream
- 1 cup half and half
- sea salt
- 6 ounces grated fontina cheese
- 2 ounces goat cheese crumbled
- 4 green onions thinly sliced
Instructions
- Place arugula in a microwave safe container and sprinkle lightly with water (just a sprinkle with your hand - you don't need much at all!)
- Cover with plastic wrap and cook on high power setting for 1 minute
- Remove from microwave and allow to cool
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees
- Spray a 9-by-2 1/2-inch springform pan with cooking spray, then brush with butter
- Line the sides of the pan with strips of parchment paper (the same height as pan)
- Brush paper with butter - this part is essential - it will give you the lovely golden crust and keep the crust from sticking to your pan
- Place hash browns on 3-4 thicknesses of paper towels and fold paper towels over potatoes. Hold over sink and squeeze excess moisture from hash browns
- Remove hash browns from paper towel packet and place in a bowl with butter, 1 egg, 1 teaspoon coarse salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Pat into bottom and up sides of prepared pan, using your hands
- Place on a rimmed baking sheet and bake until set, 15 to 20 minutes
- Place cooled arugula on 3-4 thicknesses of paper towels and using technique in step 4, squeeze out excess liquid
- In a large bowl, whisk 7 remaining eggs, sour cream, half and half, fontina cheese, arugula, green onions, 1 teaspoons sea salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper until well combined
- Pour into crust, and sprinkle with crumbled goat cheese
- Bake until set, 45 to 50 minutes
