Ingredients

• 1 9-inch Unbaked pie crust
• 1 pound Ground breakfast sausage
• 1.5 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 cup Shredded Swiss cheese
• 4 Large eggs
• 1.5 cups Half-and-half
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 0.125 teaspoons Ground nutmeg (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Place the unbaked pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish and crimp the edges. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large skillet over medium heat, crumble the sausage and cook until browned and no longer pink, about 8–10 minutes. Drain excess grease and let the sausage cool slightly.

Step 4

In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, half-and-half, salt, black pepper, and ground nutmeg (if using) until fully combined.

Step 5

Spread the cooked sausage evenly over the bottom of the pie crust.

Step 6

Sprinkle the shredded cheddar and Swiss cheeses evenly on top of the sausage.

Step 7

Pour the egg mixture over the sausage and cheese, ensuring it evenly coats the filling.

Step 8

Carefully transfer the quiche to the preheated oven and bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the custard is set and the top is golden brown.

Step 9

Allow the quiche to cool for 5–10 minutes before slicing and serving.
