Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece Pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
- 8 ounces Italian sausage (mild or spicy, casings removed)
- 1 cup Broccoli florets (fresh or frozen)
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 4 large Eggs
- 1 cup Milk (whole or 2%)
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Roll out the pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish. Press it firmly into the pan, trim any excess, and crimp the edges. Set aside.
In a medium skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the Italian sausage and cook, breaking it into crumbles, until fully browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the skillet and drain any excess grease on a paper towel-lined plate.
In the same skillet, add the broccoli florets. Cook for 2-3 minutes until tender but still crisp. If using frozen broccoli, cook according to package instructions and drain any excess water.
Sprinkle the cooked sausage evenly over the bottom of the prepared pie crust, followed by the broccoli. Top with the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheeses.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until fully combined.
Slowly pour the egg mixture over the sausage, broccoli, and cheese in the pie crust.
Place the quiche on a baking sheet to catch any spills and bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden brown.
Remove the quiche from the oven and let it cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Serve warm, cold, or at room temperature. Enjoy your Italian Sausage Broccoli Quiche!
