3 c. loose-pack, frozen hash brown potatoes, thawed
1/3 c. butter, melted
4 oz. hot pepper cheese, shredded
6 oz. diced, cooked ham (about 1 c.)
4 oz. Gouda or Swiss cheese (1 c.), shredded
1/2 c. light cream
2 eggs
1/4 tsp. seasoned salt

Press hash browns between paper towels to remove moisture. Press hash browns onto bottom and up sides of 9 inch pie plate to form a crust. Drizzle melted butter over crust. Bake at 425 degrees for 25 minutes. Remove from oven. Reduce temperature to 350 degrees. Toss together the ham and cheese and place in crust. Beat the cream with the eggs and seasoned salt. Pour over ham and cheese. Bake, uncovered, in 350 degree oven for 25 to 30 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving. Makes 6 servings.
