Hashbrowns, Spinach and Tomato Pie

This breakfast, brunch or even dinner pie uses a number of convenient frozen or packaged products that you can easily find at the grocery store. Frozen hash browns are used for the crust, adding potassium to the dish and making it an easy entrée to create! Recipe slightly modified from one seen in EatingWell magazine.
