BIG disappointment. Bland except for the top inch of bacon. The only way I would serve this again is to change the recipe. Skip the half and half (watered down the eggs), use red onion instead of white, double all servings of cheese, double portion of bacon, double the broccoli, double the onion, and instead of layering cheese and bacon on top, mix all ingredients throughout before pouring in crock pot. Could not even taste the hash browns per the original recipe, so guess I should have cooked those first in the oven for some crunch and flavor.

This is a great alternative to the traditional crusted quiche and no doubt more flavorful with the crispy hash browns. I love that it has tons of veggies too! It would probably be just as good without the meat for a vegetarian option...or if you're cooking for meat lovers you can do a deluxe version with a combo of breakfast meats. Either way, you can't really disappoint with this recipe.

This was really good. It's packed with all sorts of veggies and it made me stay full in the morning. It was a great breakfast casserole for the week!

This looks absolutely delicious! Definitely a must-try for my next homemade brunch!

Sounds like a loaded baked potato style quiche! Love it.

When do you add the cheese? Recipe doesn't say.
