Ingredients

• 1 piece Prepared pie crust
• 0.5 pound Ground breakfast sausage
• 6 slices Bacon
• 1 medium Russet potato, peeled and diced
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 6 large Eggs
• 1 cup Whole milk
• 1.5 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 stalks Green onions, sliced
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Smoked paprika

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Press the prepared pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish, crimping the edges. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground sausage until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the sausage with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

Step 4

In the same skillet, cook the bacon slices until crispy. Remove and crumble into pieces once cool.

Step 5

Wipe the skillet clean, then add the olive oil and diced potato. Cook over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are golden and tender. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 6

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, pepper, and smoked paprika until well combined.

Step 7

Layer the cooked sausage, crumbled bacon, cooked potatoes, shredded cheddar cheese, and sliced green onions evenly into the prepared pie crust.

Step 8

Carefully pour the egg mixture over the filling, ensuring everything is covered.

Step 9

Place the quiche on a baking sheet to catch any spills, then bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden brown.

Step 10

Allow the quiche to cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
