Ingredients

• 12 ounces Italian sausage
• 6 eggs
• 0.5 cups heavy cream
• 0.5 cups whole milk
• 1 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• 0.5 cups shredded Parmesan cheese
• 1 bell pepper (diced)
• 0.5 yellow onion (diced)
• 1 cups baby spinach (chopped)
• 2 garlic cloves (minced)
• 1 tablespoons olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 teaspoons dried Italian seasoning
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped, optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9-inch pie dish or casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray or butter.

Step 2

In a large pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Crumble the Italian sausage and cook until browned and fully cooked, breaking it apart with a spoon or spatula. Remove the cooked sausage and set aside.

Step 3

In the same pan, add the diced onion, diced bell pepper, and minced garlic. Cook for 3-4 minutes, or until softened. Add the chopped baby spinach and cook for another 1-2 minutes until wilted. Remove from heat.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, and milk until smooth. Stir in the shredded mozzarella, shredded Parmesan, salt, black pepper, and dried Italian seasoning.

Step 5

Add the cooked sausage and sautéed vegetables to the egg mixture. Stir until all ingredients are evenly combined.

Step 6

Pour the mixture into the prepared pie dish, spreading it out evenly. Sprinkle additional cheese on top if desired.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the quiche is set in the center and lightly golden on top.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before slicing. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired.

Step 9

Serve warm and enjoy!
