Canadian bacon is a cut of bacon that includes the pork loin from the back of the pig and is sold as such in the US. It may also include a portion of the pork belly in the same cut. It’s much leaner than commonly used side bacon that’s made only from the pork belly. Back bacon is derived from the same cut used for pork chops. You can use diced ham or cooked and crumbled strips of bacon, if preferred.
This quiche can be made in any type of similar size baking dish, even a square 9 x 9 inch pan, if preferred.
Since the crust is made with shredded potatoes a cast iron or metal pan will result in the crispiest crust.
You can use any type of shredded cheese that you enjoy or have on hand for this quiche. You could use pepper-jack cheese to give it a little kick.
Once baked, it’s helpful to let the Canadian Bacon Hash Brown Quiche stand for 20 minutes or so before cutting. When using a cast iron skillet, the ambient heat will keep it warm.
