My friend, Donna, recently
shared this quiche recipe with me so I made it last night. We thought it was
very good. When you read through the ingredients, you'll notice that it calls
for only two eggs. That struck me as odd for a quiche recipe, but I assure you
that it tastes great! It's a very meaty, hearty dish. I added oven-baked potato
cakes and a Waldorf salad. Enjoy!
Sausage and Pepper Quiche
1 pie crust
1 pound sausage (I use Jimmy Dean All Natural, which is pretty lean)
1 minced red pepper (I used pimentos)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup shredded cheddar
1/4 cup parmesan
2 eggs
1/2 cup heavy cream
Bake pie crust for 9 minutes in a 400 degree oven. Then increase oven temperature to 425. Cook sausage and then sauté red peppers (or if substituting with pimentos, just fold into meat after it's cooked). Spread in bottom of pie shell. Beat cream and eggs and salt. Pour on top of meat mixture. Bake at 425 for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes. Let stand for several minutes before cutting.
