Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground breakfast sausage
- 1 piece premade pie crust
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded Swiss cheese
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 0.5 cup whole milk
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon onion powder
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, chopped for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the premade pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish, pressing it gently into the edges. Trim any excess crust hanging over the edge of the dish.
In a medium skillet over medium heat, cook the ground breakfast sausage until browned and fully cooked, breaking it into crumbles with a spatula. Drain any excess grease and set aside.
Sprinkle the cooked sausage evenly over the bottom of the pie crust.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, whole milk, salt, pepper, and onion powder until well combined.
Spread the shredded cheddar and Swiss cheeses evenly over the sausage in the pie crust.
Pour the egg mixture over the sausage and cheese, ensuring it fills the crust evenly.
Carefully transfer the quiche to the preheated oven. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is lightly golden brown.
Remove the quiche from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired. Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
