Ingredients
- 1 piece Pie crust (9-inch, pre-made or homemade)
- 0.5 pound Breakfast sausage
- 4 large Eggs
- 1 cup Half-and-half
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried parsley
- 2 tablespoons Green onions (thinly sliced)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
Unroll the pie crust and press it into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim any excess dough and crimp the edges as desired. Set aside.
Step 3
In a medium skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage, breaking it into small crumbles with a spatula, until it’s browned and fully cooked. Drain any excess grease and set aside.
Step 4
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, half-and-half, salt, black pepper, and dried parsley until well combined.
Step 5
Sprinkle the cooked sausage evenly over the prepared pie crust.
Step 6
Top the sausage with shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheeses.
Step 7
Pour the egg mixture over the sausage and cheese, ensuring it covers the filling evenly.
Step 8
Sprinkle the top with the green onions for an extra burst of flavor.
Step 9
Place the quiche in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes or until the filling is set and the top is lightly golden. A knife inserted into the center should come out clean.
Step 10
Allow the quiche to cool for about 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Step 11
Serve warm, or let it cool completely and refrigerate for meal prep. Reheat slices in the oven or microwave as needed.
