# Instructions:

Set your oven to 425°F (220°C) to preheat it.

Combine the hash browns and melted butter in a big bowl. Press this into a greased 9-inch springform pan, covering both the bottom and sides. Bake for about 20 minutes till it's golden and crispy.

Whisk the eggs, heavy cream, pepper, and salt all together in a bowl until smooth.

Pop it back into the oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes. It's ready when the egg is firm and the top has a nice golden hue.

Let it rest for a few minutes before you take the pan's sides off. Sprinkle some fresh herbs on top and serve it while it's warm.
