Whether you serve this for breakfast, brunch, lunch or dinner, this vegetarian dish will be a hit. It's delicious the way that it is, but you can make your own variations to it by adding some breakfast sausage or feta cheese, if you wish.
2 c. Ore-Ida Shredded Hash Brown Potatoes, thawed
1 c. part-skim shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
2 T. olive oil
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 c. grape or cherry tomatoes, halved
3 - 4 c. packed fresh baby spinach
4 eggs

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray a 9 inch pie plate with cooking spray; press down the potatoes into the pie plate.

In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, nutmeg, salt and pepper; whisk until thoroughly combined.
Pour over spinach and tomatoes. Sprinkle the remaining shredded mozzarella over the pie.
