How To Make A Denver Omelet Pie
Lightly grease a 9-inch pie pan.
In a medium-sized cup or bowl, beat the eggs with onion powder, thyme, salt and pepper.

Pour mixture into prepared pie pan.
Bake at 350 degrees for 40 to 45 minutes or until knife or toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Important Cooking Notes From Mr Breakfast
For the frozen hash browns: Don't just thaw them. After they've thawed, put them in the microwave and cook them for 3 minutes with 2 Tablespoons of butter - stirring after each minute. Partially cooking them assures that they will be fully cooked and tender in the final dish. Allow them to cool before mixing them with the eggs, etc.
When it comes to the dried thyme, don't take that mean ground, powdered, pale-white thyme. Use the kind that consists of crushed dried leaves. Powdered thyme is too strong and off-putting. I tried it with both kinds, so trust me. If it’s pale, your dish will fail. If it’s green, you’re good to go.
Really popular at family brunch. All the flavors of a Denver omelet in a quick-to-prepare, baked breakfast casserole that can serve a group.
Mr Breakfast would like to thank DixieChick for this recipe.

Instead of of just mixing the potatoes with the eggs, use them to make a crust. Really easy... drain them super good. Line the pan with them. Pre-bake just the crust for 15 minutes. Then mix the rest of the stuff and bake. Trust me. Much better that way.
