I use hash brown patties for the crust and there's a whole lot of linguica and cheese in it also. Try it and you will not regret it! Here we go! Ingredients: 2 Tbs. extra virgin olive oil 2 cups of chopped linguica 1/2 of a medium sized onion, chopped 7 frozen hash brown patties, thawed 8 eggs 1 cup of milk 1 tsp. salt 1 tsp. freshly ground black pepper 1 tsp. garlic powder 1 cup of shredded Monterey Jack cheese Preparation: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

Press the crumble hash brown patties onto the bottom of a 9 inch deep dish pie plate. Place in the oven and bake for 10 minutes. Remove fro
