Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 9-inch Unbaked pie crust
- 1 pound Ground breakfast sausage
- 1.5 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Shredded Swiss cheese
- 4 Large eggs
- 1.5 cups Half-and-half
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.125 teaspoons Ground nutmeg (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Place the unbaked pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish and crimp the edges. Set aside.
In a large skillet over medium heat, crumble the sausage and cook until browned and no longer pink, about 8–10 minutes. Drain excess grease and let the sausage cool slightly.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, half-and-half, salt, black pepper, and ground nutmeg (if using) until fully combined.
Spread the cooked sausage evenly over the bottom of the pie crust.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar and Swiss cheeses evenly on top of the sausage.
Pour the egg mixture over the sausage and cheese, ensuring it evenly coats the filling.
Carefully transfer the quiche to the preheated oven and bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the custard is set and the top is golden brown.
Allow the quiche to cool for 5–10 minutes before slicing and serving.
