24 oz. frozen shredded hash brown potatoes, thawed
1/2 c. melted butter
1 c. shredded jalapeno pepper cheese
1 c. shredded Swiss cheese
1 c. diced cooked ham
1/2 c. cream or milk
2 eggs, beaten
1/4 tsp. salt

Grease a 9 inch pie plate with shortening or butter. Press thawed hash brown potatoes between paper toweling to remove excess moisture. Press hash browns into pie plate, cutting and trimming to make a solid crust. Brush hash brown crust with melted butter, making sure to brush edges. Combine remaining ingredients and pour into crust. Bake at 425 degrees for 25 minutes.
