Almond milk is lower in calories and dairy-free.

Pick fresh mint from the garden (not used in the recipe).

Use 3 cups of store-bought frozen hash browns, season with salt and pepper.

Toss hash browns in 1/2 stick of melted butter to help bind them together.

Spray a pie plate with non-stick spray.

Press the hash browns into the pie plate to form a crust.

Bake the hash brown crust in the oven at 450 degrees for 25 minutes.

Prepare the filling by adding 3/4 cup diced ham and 1/2 cup diced green onions to a bowl.

Crack 3 eggs into the bowl, add salt and pepper, and beat them together.

Add 1 cup of half and half to the egg mixture, then stir in the green onions and ham.

Pour the filling into the baked hash brown crust.

Lower the oven temperature to 350 degrees and bake for 30 minutes.

Check if the quiche is done by inserting a knife; it should come out clean.

Serve with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of onions.
