Instructions
- Mix the hash browns, 1 tablespoon olive oil and salt and pepper to taste in a large mixing bowl.

- Arrange bacon bits, zucchini and mushrooms in the pan and top with remaining cheddar cheese.
- Combine eggs, milk and salt and pepper to taste and whisk until frothy.
- Pour the egg mixture into the crust.

- Let it cool for at least 10 minutes before serving.
- Enjoy!
