Ingredients

1 cup flour
1/2 cup creamy wheat (enriched farina) hot cereal (1-minute, 2-1/2-minute or 10-minute cook time), uncooked
1/2 tsp. salt
6 Tbsp. margarine or butter, divided
4 to 5 Tbsp. cold water
1 cup ORE-IDA Shredded Hash Brown Potatoes or cubed potatoes
1/2 cup chopped green pepper
1/2 cup onion slices
8 oz. sweet Italian turkey sausage, cooked, sliced
4 eggs
1-1/4 cups fat-free milk
1/2 tsp. dried thyme leaves
1/3 cup KRAFT Shredded Swiss Cheese

Steps:

Mix flour, cereal and salt in large bowl. Using a pastry blender or 2 knives, cut in 5 Tbsp. of the margarine until mixture forms fine crumbs. Gradually add 4 Tbsp. of the water, stirring until mixture forms ball. Add remaining 1 Tbsp. water, if necessary for ball to stick together.
Roll pastry into 11-inch circle on lightly floured surface. Line 9-inch pie plate with pastry, allowing 1/2-inch overhang. Turn under edge; flute. Pierce pastry shell with fork. Bake at 450°F for 7 minutes. Remove from oven. Reduce oven temperature to 375°F.
Melt remaining 1 Tbsp. margarine in large skillet on medium heat. Add potatoes, green pepper, onion and sausage. Cook and stir 3 minutes or until onions are tender. Pour into pastry shell.
Beat eggs, milk and thyme with wire whisk until well blended. Stir in cheese. Pour into pastry shell; stir gently until well blended.
Bake 40 to 50 minutes or until knife inserted in center comes out clean.
