Hashbrowns, Spinach and Tomato Pie is the perfect addition to your Easter Brunch Menu!
Table of Contents
Look at me! I’m getting all ahead on the Easter Menu. That says a lot for someone that waits last minute to get a Holiday recipe up on the blog.
If you can remember, we talked about that stunning dessert, my mom’s Almond Layer Cake with Whipped Vanilla and Chocolate Frosting on Monday, the Easter Cookie Cups last Friday, and today we’re discussing Easter Brunch! And a delicious brunch it will be!
EASTER BRUNCH
This pie, or quiche, or omelette… anything goes… is going to make you all kinds of happy! Which reminds me – I totally skipped over the Easter lunch/dinner-thing! I’ll work on it. Pinky swear!
Apparently, my love for potatoes continues. Sliced, stuffed, shredded – I don’t discriminate. By the way, if you’re in need of a brunch idea that’s low carb, gluten free, and Keto, try my Low Carb Cauliflower Crust Breakfast Quiche.
After a delicious stare down with a bag of Shredded Hash Brown Potatoes that I picked up at the store, I realized that I hadn’t shared my super tasty Hashbrowns, Spinach and Tomato Pie on zee bloggy. How could I forget?? It’s SO GOOD! And easy!
Normally, we spend Easter morning at Church, thus when we get back, I want to whip up something quick and easy for brunch, and not obsess about what we’re going to eat. On a side note – Me, not obsess?? I make joke. Truth is, when it comes to Holiday entertaining, I love to cook and bake, but I prefer making it a little easier for myself so that I don’t spend the whole day in the kitchen… Therefore, enter pie plate, hash browns, eggs, cheese, spinach and tomatoes. My super-stars!
HASHBROWNS SPINACH TOMATO PIE
A quick saute of the spinach and tomatoes; a crust made of shredded potatoes; and an egg mixture to pull it all together. 30 minutes later you will have a beautiful, savory pie to enjoy, together with family and friends.
This recipe will satisfy everyone at that Easter brunch table – the protein-seeker, the carbaholic, the greens eater, AND your aunt that’s sensitive to gluten. Might as well double the recipe and serve it for dinner, too. Just an idea.
ENJOY!

We loved it! The whole family!
Thank YOU! I’m very glad you enjoyed it! 🙂
It’s in the oven now, can’t wait!
It came out great, wish I could post a pic it’s so pretty! Perfect recipe.
Thanks
I’m going to make this in a square or rectangular pan and use it for meal prepping. It looks like it freezes well…
I make this for holidays and add a little parm on the top when it’s done. It’s perfect for a savory dish and then I can make something sweet as well and not feel bad. Love this!!!
This is so easy I can even make it for weekday breakfasts and have leftovers for the week.
That looks great. I love the hashbrown crust! Can we use fresh shredded potatoes instead of frozen ones?
Hi!
Yes, you definitely can. 🙂 Hope you’ll enjoy it!
Looking forward to trying this! Can it be made in a 10.5” quiche dish? What adjustments should be made? Thanks!
Like the spinach recipe
this looks great, thank you, like the fresh ingredients paired with the easy prep ingredients!
Hey there! Just wanted you to know that your delicious recipe was featured here: http://www.dreamingofbutterflies.co/10-absolutely-yummy-brunch-recipes-need-try-now/
Hi! Thank you for the feature!! 🙂
Blog is “Diethood”…so what’s the nutritional information? I’m confused.
Hi! I am very sorry about that. I recently had to change my recipe cards and because of that, parts of the recipes are hiding behind codes. :-/ But the nutritional info should be visible now. Thank you for letting me know!
I made this & added breakfast sausage
Delicious and easy! Baked hashbrowns about 20 min and used egg whites, no cheese. Will definitely become a staple for my weekend bfasts, thnaks!
Will have too make this.
Yummy! Can’t wait to try this 🙂
WOW. That’s looks delicious.
When it says “bake for 8 mins; remove from oven top with mozzarella” does that mean take the hashbrowns out of the oven and sprinkle the cheese on them?
I don’t have a pie plate. Any suggestions for another cooking vessel?
Made this pie as part of a brunch to meet my son’s girlfriends’s family. It was absolutely delicious! Everyone was very impressed. my son’s girlfriend is a dietician, so I was quite proud to let her know that your recipe was not only delicious but healthy as well. Thank you, Nadia
I made this for dinner this evening and it was delicious. I agree with the comments about pre baking the hash browns longer. They were tasty but not crispy. I think next time I’ll include some feta or goat cheese and some diced red onion. Great recipe for a vegetarian dinner!!
Thanks so much, Nikki!! Happy to know you enjoyed it!
We made it with goat cheese and it was a great touch of flavor! Good instinct 😉 I agree, baking the crust longer would probably help give it a more crispy quality.
If you use goat cheese it won’t be vegetarian
Using cheese would not be vegan but us still vegetarian.
I make something like this, but I add feta cheese to it. I think that this would be good with a little goat cheese on top and then slightly “browned” in the broiler when fully baked. Yummmmm
looks delicious! I love how you thought to use hash browns instead of having crust. Can’t wait to try it!
Nice recipes Katerina !!!!
Treba da pises vise o Macedonijan food 🙂

Fala mnogu, Mirjana!! 🙂 Pozdrav!
For anyone not interested in 34 comments on how yummy it looks but instead if the recipe actually works…
We made this for Christmas breakfast. It is delicious but I could recommend baking the potato and cheese crust for about 10 minutes to crisp it up a bit. The spinach and tomatoes made that a tad soggy and this would prevent it.
Several at the table decided it also tasted great with salsa. I would give it 3 stars
Cheryl, Just wondered if you missed, to bake potatoes first, or you think they needed to bake extra 10 minutes. Mine turned turned out perfect and not soggy when I baked the potatoes as directed. A keeper for sure! I also agree with you on all of the posts about how good things look that you have to scroll through to get to tried reviews! The pictures are pretty and all but I think Bloggers could chill out a little bit with the amount they post. Sorry no offense! Thanks for sharing it was delicous and will definitely make again!
Thank you, Mary, for your feedback and honesty!! I truly appreciate it! Have a wonderful Sunday!
I made this recipe and really enjoyed it! I agree that the potatoes could have used additional crisping when I made it. I cooked them for exactly 8 minutes and might try 15 next time to see if they will crisp up a bit. The dish still tasted great, but did not have anything like a crust from the hashbrowns.
Thanks for the great recipe!
If you made this with fresh potatoes would you cook them first or spread them raw?
This looks so delicious and will be great for my vegetarian group. Do you think I can put this together ahead of time and then back 5 hours later?
Hi Debbie!
You can put it together beforehand, but without the egg/milk mixture. When you’re ready to bake it, whisk the eggs, milk and seasonings and pour it over. I hope that helps!
Thanks, Katrina. I will definitely be giving this a try.
Yum and yum! What a delicious recipe. I’m definitely giving this one a try.
I love how colorful the tomatoes and spinach make this pie! #client
This looks Yummy! 🙂 Thanks for post.
Girl! Those tomatoes really make the dish pop, and holy cow I’ll bet they are amazing after they’ve been cooked then smooshed all together with the shredded hash brown potatoes. I’m so glad this Ore-Ida product is gluten free. It really opens things up for those of us who are sensitive or allergic! #client
Fantastic work Katerina – you are a rock star! #client
Perfect pie for Easter brunch. YUM!
I’ve been looking up easy recipes lately-I love this!!! I have everything on hand except for the potatos so I just have to grav those-sweet! Hope all is well!!
Delish! I’ve made variations on this using cheddar and potatoes. Love the spinach and tomato angles. Makes it pretty durned healthy:)
Spinach and hashbrowns – where have you been all my life? Comfort food with a twist is the best there is!
Very delicious!
Great job Kate …again 🙂
A satisfying and beautiful meal!
Spinach and eggs go so well together- this looks delicious!
I love this. Spinach and tomato is always my go to combination.
Looks wonderful! Great addition to any meal!
This looks like savory comfort in a pie, love!
I am thinking Easter brunch! Gorgeous!
I miss hash brown potatoes … great way of indulging.
I WANT THIS PIE!!!! Are you kidding me? It has every single thing I love!
Yum!! I would not want to share this with anyone. 😉
This is so perfect for entertaining! I love how you could switch up the other ingredients too based on preferences.
What great comfort food! Pinned 🙂 Gorg pics as usual!
