- 1 pound breakfast sausage
- ½ yellow onion diced
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup heavy cream
- ½ teaspoon mustard powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground pepper
Instructions
- Gently press the pie crust dough into a 9" pie plate and pinch the edges. Set aside.
- Brown sausage in a large skillet, then drain any excess grease from the pan. Add the onions and cook until tender and translucent.
- Transfer the sausage and onions to the prepared pie plate, then sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, cream, mustard powder, salt, and pepper. Pour over the cheese and sausage mixture.
- Bake on the center rack of a preheated 350 ℉ oven for 40 to 50 minutes, until the crust is golden and the filling is set.* Allow to rest for 10 minutes before serving.*Tent loosely with foil if crust begins to brown before quiche is finished cooking.
Notes
- Add other meats and veg to bulk it up or play with the flavors.
- Tent the crust with tinfoil halfway through baking to ensure the crust does not get too brown.
- A 9’’ pie plate works best for this recipe.
- Use spicy sausage to give this dish a kick of heat!
- Swap half and half for the heavy whipping cream if desired.
