Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 ounces Italian sausage
- 6 eggs
- 0.5 cups heavy cream
- 0.5 cups whole milk
- 1 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cups shredded Parmesan cheese
- 1 bell pepper (diced)
- 0.5 yellow onion (diced)
- 1 cups baby spinach (chopped)
- 2 garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 teaspoons dried Italian seasoning
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped, optional for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9-inch pie dish or casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray or butter.
In a large pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Crumble the Italian sausage and cook until browned and fully cooked, breaking it apart with a spoon or spatula. Remove the cooked sausage and set aside.
In the same pan, add the diced onion, diced bell pepper, and minced garlic. Cook for 3-4 minutes, or until softened. Add the chopped baby spinach and cook for another 1-2 minutes until wilted. Remove from heat.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, and milk until smooth. Stir in the shredded mozzarella, shredded Parmesan, salt, black pepper, and dried Italian seasoning.
Add the cooked sausage and sautéed vegetables to the egg mixture. Stir until all ingredients are evenly combined.
Pour the mixture into the prepared pie dish, spreading it out evenly. Sprinkle additional cheese on top if desired.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the quiche is set in the center and lightly golden on top.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before slicing. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy!
