Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Jimmy Dean pork sausage
- 8 pieces Large eggs
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup Red bell pepper, diced
- 0.5 cup Green onions, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 24 pieces Pre-made mini phyllo or pastry shells
- 1 as needed Cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly spray a muffin tin or baking tray with cooking spray if not using pre-made mini pastry shells.
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the Jimmy Dean pork sausage, breaking it into small crumbles, until it is fully browned and cooked through. Drain any excess fat and set aside to cool slightly.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, shredded cheddar cheese, shredded mozzarella cheese, diced red bell pepper, chopped green onions, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Place the pre-made mini pastry shells on a baking tray, or if using a prepared muffin tin, line each cup with a small circle of pastry dough to form a base.
Add a spoonful of the cooked sausage to each mini shell or pastry base, ensuring the sausage is evenly distributed across all shells.
Pour the egg mixture into each shell or pastry base, filling them about three-quarters of the way to avoid overflow during baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the egg filling is set and slightly golden on top.
Remove from the oven and let the mini quiches cool for 5 minutes. Carefully remove them from the muffin tin or baking tray.
Serve warm or at room temperature. These mini quiches can also be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated as needed.
