Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 lb ground sausage cooked
  • 4 eggs
  • 1/2 C half & half
  • 1/2 C milk
  • 1 C shredded cheddar cheese
  • Salt & pepper to taste
  • 1/2 tsp garlic salt

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 375 and let your pie crust pre-bake for 10 minutes.
  2. Cook your sausage until no longer pink. I usually cook a pound and use half for this recipe and half for chili later in the day or you can make two quiches and freeze one!
  3. In a bowl, mix eggs, milk, cheese, half & half and seasonings and whisk well.
  4. Take the pie crust out and place sausage in the crust. Pour the egg mixture over top and make sure cheese is evenly place throughout.
  5. Bake for 40-45 minutes and let rest for 10 minutes.
  6. Serve hot!

    Notes

    This is great served with fresh fruit or for a brunch with friends and family!
