Sausage Pepper and Onion Quiche

This Sausage Pepper and Onion Quiche is a breakfast, lunch or dinner favorite! It’s super easy to whip up because it’s made with a premade frozen pie crust. The rich, creamy custard and savory filling ingredients make for a delicious, satisfying meal!

Ingredients You’ll Need

• butter
• pork breakfast sausage
• yellow onion
• green bell pepper
• large eggs
• heavy cream
• milk
• Italian seasoning
• coarse kosher salt
• pepper
• freshly shredded Swiss cheese
• 1 frozen deep dish pie crust

Step-By-Step Instructions

The first step is to partially bake your frozen pie crust on a large baking sheet.

The second step is to combine your sausage, peppers and onions in a deep skillet and cook over medium-high heat until the meat is no longer pink and the peppers and onions are softened. Drain and set aside.

The third step is to combine your eggs, heavy cream, milk, Italian seasoning and salt and pepper in a large bowl and whisk until smooth and well combined.

The fourth step is to add your shredded Swiss cheese and sausage mixture to your pie crust and then pour the egg mixture over those ingredients. Do not let the egg mixture overflow. Discard any extra mixture that does not fit into the crust.

You’ll bake the quiche for 35-40 until the edges of the quiche are set, but the center is just a smidge jiggly when you shake the tray.

I like to let my cool quiche for about 20-30 minutes before slicing and serving.

This quiche will yield 4-6 servings. It really depends how big you want your slices. At breafast time, I make my slices smaller (6) because I serve it with toast on the side. If I’m serving it for dinner, I usually slice it into 4 large slices with a side salad.

Notes

If you are worried about your quiche overflowing, line your baking sheet with foil or parchment paper.

I never cook my quiche right on the oven rack just so I don't have any issues with it overflowing.
