Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece Pie crust (9-inch, pre-made or homemade)
- 0.5 pound Breakfast sausage
- 4 large Eggs
- 1 cup Half-and-half
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried parsley
- 2 tablespoons Green onions (thinly sliced)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Unroll the pie crust and press it into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim any excess dough and crimp the edges as desired. Set aside.
In a medium skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage, breaking it into small crumbles with a spatula, until it’s browned and fully cooked. Drain any excess grease and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, half-and-half, salt, black pepper, and dried parsley until well combined.
Sprinkle the cooked sausage evenly over the prepared pie crust.
Top the sausage with shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheeses.
Pour the egg mixture over the sausage and cheese, ensuring it covers the filling evenly.
Sprinkle the top with the green onions for an extra burst of flavor.
Place the quiche in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes or until the filling is set and the top is lightly golden. A knife inserted into the center should come out clean.
Allow the quiche to cool for about 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Serve warm, or let it cool completely and refrigerate for meal prep. Reheat slices in the oven or microwave as needed.
