Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Place your pie pan of choice on top of a baking sheet. This will make for easier handling when moving it in and out of the oven.

- While the pie crust and potatoes are baking, whisk together 12 eggs, milk, salt, pepper and garlic powder.
- Remove quiche from the oven.
- Layer bacon, cheese and green onion on top of the potatoes.
- Pour the egg mixture over the top.
- Bake for 50-70 minutes until the quiche is cooked through. You will know it is done when the middle is firm and dry.
- Let cool for 30 minutes before slicing.
