Breakfast Sausage Quiche
Servings 6 pieces
Ingredients
- ½ roll of breakfast sausage
- ¼ of a medium yellow onion, minced
- ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper (omit if using spicy sausage)
- 1 refrigerated pie crust
- 6 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Black pepper, to taste
- Sea salt, to taste
- 1 cup half & half
- 1.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Cook sausage, onion, and crushed red pepper in a large skillet over medium heat, breaking up as you go, until sausage is crumbled and nicely browned.
- Press one prepared pie crust into a pie plate, crimp edges, and spread cooked sausage in the bottom of the pie crust.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, paprika, salt & pepper, and half & half. (Whisk these together well to incorporate in a lot of air, until bubbly. This will make your quiche fluffier.)
- Pour egg mixture over sausage, then top with shredded cheese.
- Cover entire quiche with foil (tent up in the middle to help it not stick) and bake at 400 degrees for 50 minutes or until set, carefully removing foil for the last ten minutes of cook time.
- Allow quiche to set for a few minutes before slicing.
