Certainly, any pie eaten as the first meal of the day qualifies

A breakfast pie is a pie served for breakfast whose defining ingredients include items which could be considered breakfast foods at the time the pie is made.

Like love, a breakfast pie is often hard to define. We know how to express it. We know how we like to have it. But we are constantly amazed that both love and breakfast pies, if there is a way to separate the two, appear to us in so many ways.

Hash-Brown Egg Pie 

2 1/2 cups frozen hash-brown
potatoes (shredded or cubed) 7 slices bacon 5 large eggs
1 1/2 cups grated Pepper Jack
cheese
1/3 cup milk
2 green onions, finely chopped
(white and pale green
part only) 1 medium tomato, seeded,
diced (1/4-inch pieces) 1/2 teaspoon seasoning

Prepare a quiche pan or pie pan with cooking spray. Pat the 2 1/2 cups uncooked hash-browns into the bottom of the pan.

Cook the bacon until crisp, drain and crumble. Set aside. In a bowl, beat eggs with an electric mixer or whisk until fluffy. Stir in all the remaining ingredients including the cooked bacon. Pour the egg mixture over the hash-browns, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight. Preheat oven to 325°F. Bake the pie for 40 to 50 minute.

The pie is done when a knife inserted comes out clean and the top of the pie is slightly golden.
