Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece pre-made pie crust
- 8 ounces mild or spicy ground sausage
- 6 ounces portabella mushrooms
- 1 medium yellow onion
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 5 large eggs
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 0.5 cup whole milk
- 1 cup shredded Gruyere cheese
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the pre-made pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish and crimp the edges. Set aside.
In a medium skillet over medium heat, cook the ground sausage until browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Drain any excess grease and transfer the sausage to a plate lined with paper towels.
Thinly slice the yellow onion and chop the portabella mushrooms into small pieces.
In the same skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until they soften and start to caramelize, about 8 minutes.
Add the portabella mushrooms to the skillet with the onions. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the mushrooms release their moisture and become tender. Remove from heat.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, and whole milk until smooth. Stir in the garlic powder, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper.
Sprinkle the shredded Gruyere cheese evenly over the bottom of the pie crust. Then layer the cooked sausage, caramelized onions, and mushrooms over the cheese.
Carefully pour the egg mixture over the sausage and vegetables, ensuring everything is covered and evenly distributed.
Bake the quiche in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the egg custard is set and the top is lightly golden brown.
Allow the quiche to cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
