Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish (or a larger one).
- 2
Press enough uncooked frozen hash browns into the pie dish to cover the bottom and sides with a potato crust about 1/4 to 3/8 inch thick. Depending on the size of the dish, you will need 1 1/2 to 2 cups of hash browns.
- 3
Bake the potato crust in the preheated oven until it just begins to turn very lightly browned, 15 to 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and let it stand while you finish preparing the filling.
- 4
Meanwhile, add the bacon pieces to a large skillet and cook over medium-low heat, turning occasionally, until the bacon begins to render its fat, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the mushrooms and onion and cook, stirring, until the mushrooms have softened and the onion is translucent, 5 to 7 minutes.
- 5
Heat the avocado oil in a second skillet over medium heat. Add the corn, 3/4 of the sliced green onions, and the cilantro. Cook, stirring often, until the corn begins to caramelize and is lightly charred, about 5 minutes.
- 6
Scrape the contents of both pans into a large bowl and mix until well combined. Let cool for 5 minutes. Stir in the cubed cooked carrot. Stir in the beaten eggs and 3/4 of the shredded cheese; season with salt and pepper and mix until well combined. Sprinkle in the rice flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing until fully incorporated. Pour the mixture into the prebaked potato pie crust and level it with a spatula.
- 7
Bake in the preheated oven until the center is fully set and no longer raw, 40 to 45 minutes. If the top begins to brown too much, loosely cover with foil and continue cooking until done.
- 8
Remove the pie from the oven and evenly sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese and sliced green onion over the top. Turn off the oven, place the pie back into the warm oven, and let the cheese melt, 5 to 10 minutes.

Remove and let cool for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products
easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.
The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.
Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.
For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
