Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece Premade pie crust
- 8 oz Turkey sausage
- 6 large Eggs
- 1 cup Half-and-half
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Fresh spinach
- 0.5 cup Red bell pepper, diced
- 0.25 cup Onion, diced
- 1 clove Garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Dried thyme
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Place the premade pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish. Crimp the edges of the crust with your fingers or a fork and set aside.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the turkey sausage and cook, breaking it up into crumbles, for about 4-5 minutes or until browned.
Add the diced onion, red bell pepper, and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are softened.
Stir in the fresh spinach and cook for 1-2 minutes until wilted. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, half-and-half, salt, black pepper, and dried thyme until fully combined.
Spread the cooked turkey sausage and vegetable mixture over the bottom of the pie crust.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the mixture.
Pour the egg and half-and-half mixture over the top, ensuring it fills the crust evenly.
Bake the quiche in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the center is set and slightly puffed, and the edges are golden brown.
Remove the quiche from the oven and allow it to cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
