  • Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C). Lightly brush the Large Bar Pan with vegetable oil. Grate the cheese using the Microplane® Adjustable Coarse Grater. Crumble the hash browns over the pan and press gently. Sprinkle with half of the cheese. Bake for 13–15 minutes or until the crust starts to brown.Meanwhile, in the Classic Batter Bowl, whisk the cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the eggs and black pepper; whisk until smooth. Coarsely chop the ham using the Food Chopper. Slice the green onions, reserving 1/4 cup (50 mL) of the tops for garnish. Place the ham and remaining green onions into the 8" (20-cm) Sauté Pan; cook and stir over medium heat for 2–3 minutes or until hot. Stir the ham mixture into the egg mixture.Remove the bar pan from the oven, and pour the egg mixture over the crust. Return to the oven and bake for 8–10 minutes, or until the center is set. Meanwhile, seed and dice the tomatoes using a Utility Knife. Remove the pan from the oven. Top with the remaining cheese, tomatoes, and reserved green onions. Sprinkle with additional black pepper, if desired. Cut into squares and serve using the Mini Serving Spatula.
