Bountiful Brunch Pizza

This was originally a Pampered Chef recipe, but I altered it to my liking and my pantry. Be sure to see the tips at the end for what I did, but the original recipe is below.

Ingredients:
Crust:
1 pkg. (24 ounces) frozen shredded hash brown patties, thawed and broken apart
1 egg, beaten
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Egg Topping:
7 eggs
1/2 cup milk
Salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 cup chopped ham
1/2 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
1/4 cup green onion slices
1/4 cup chopped green bell pepper
1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese.

Directions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

For crust, combine potatoes, egg, salt and pepper; mix well. Spread potato mixture onto pan; pat down with back of spoon. Bake 10 minutes; remove from oven.

For egg topping, whisk eggs and milk in bowl. Season with salt and pepper, if desired. Microwave on high 3 minutes; stir. Microwave an additional 3 minutes; stir. Spread cooked egg mixture evenly over potato crust; top with ham, mushrooms, green onion and bell pepper. Sprinkle with cheese.

Return to oven. Bake 10 minutes. To serve, cut into wedges with pizza cutter.

Tips from a Kitchen of Reality:
- I used shredded hashbrowns in a bag and only used 16 ounces.
- I don't like eggs cooked in the microwave, so I cooked the egg/milk mixture on the stove top until it was the consistency of runny scrambled eggs. (Remember it gets baked in the oven too, so you don't want the eggs overdone.)
- Use whatever toppings you've got. I made a sausage, mushroom, and cheese instead of onion, peppers, and ham. It's a pizza, so use what you've got.
