How To Make An Alabama Breakfast Pie
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
Mix together the first 4 ingredients in a medium bowl.
Thaw potatoes between layers of paper towels to remove excess moisture. Press potatoes into bottom and up the sides on a 9 inch pie plate drizzled with butter.
Bake this crust for 25 minutes or until lightly browned - cool on wire rack.
Reduce oven heat to 375.
In crust, layer from bottom up: 1) Ham or sausage 2) Onion 3) Peppers 4) Pimento 5) Cheese.
Cover with egg/milk mixture. Bake at 375 for 35-40 minutes or until set. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.
Cooking Notes From Mr Breakfast:
* 3 cups frozen shredded potatoes is roughly equal to 1/2 of a 30 ounce package from the grocery store.
I adjusted the recipe as originally submitted. I increase the number of eggs from 3 to 5 and the amount of milk from 1/2 cup to 3/4 cup. With those changes, it made a pie that fully filled a 9-inch pie plate.
This recipe with a crisp hash brown crust was featured at the beautiful Bay Breeze Bed & Breakfast in Fairhope, Alabama.
Mr Breakfast would like to thank CellPhone for this recipe.

Came out great (with spicy hot sausage)! Even better as leftovers later in the day. I left out the pimento (never have that around). But that was the only change I made.

Used turkey bacon and added frozen chopped spinach-fantastic!

We left out the meat, added a bit of vegan Worcestershire and liquid smoke to the eggs, used non-dairy milk and cheese, olive oil in place of butter, and fresh potatoes. Next time we would salt the potatoes in addition to the eggs, and add in a few more spices. Yummy with guac on top. I can't imagine leaving leftovers of this!

Very good! Instead of ham we used sausage. I doubted that 3 eggs would be enough but it was -- we still had left overs. Wonderful and easy. Thanks from Colorado.
