Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Italian sausage
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 6 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 2 sheets Refrigerated pie crusts
- 1 can Nonstick cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly spray a standard 12-cup muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray.
Remove the refrigerated pie crusts from the packaging and allow them to come to room temperature as per package directions.
In a medium skillet over medium heat, cook the Italian sausage, breaking it into small crumbles, until it's fully browned and no longer pink. Drain any excess grease and set the sausage aside to cool slightly.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pie crusts slightly, then use a 4-inch round cutter to cut out 12 circles. Gently press each circle into a muffin cup, ensuring the edges come up the sides to form a small crust.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, salt, black pepper, and dried oregano until fully combined.
Divide the cooked sausage evenly among the 12 muffin cups, followed by the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheeses.
Pour the egg mixture evenly into each cup, filling them just below the top edge of the crust.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the quiche cups are puffed and golden, and the filling is set. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
Remove from the oven and let the quiche cups cool in the tin for 5 minutes before carefully removing them. Serve warm or at room temperature.
