Breakfast Pie image

A recipe that came in an email from Taste of Home. Sounds like something I would love, so posting here for safe keeping. You can make the pie the night before to make for a easy morning meal. Update 6/23/2013: After having another chef try this recipe with bad results, I quickly got the ingredients to try it myself (and then make any corrections), which is why I posted it anyways!! Since it was only myself eating this time, I scaled it back for 2-3 servings and did use the shredded hashbrowns as did the previous reviewer, and it worked out perfectly. I only had mine in the refrigerator for a few hours, before baking it for my lunch. I really loved the crunchy topping from the cornflakes and bacon bits on top and next time might increase the amount of cornflakes, so good and really enjoyed the contrast of textures. After the crunchy topping you cut into a creamy tasty inside. I am leaving the recipe as I originally posted as it worked out wonderfully for me.
