Ingredients

• 1 9-inch pre-made pie crust
• 8 oz ground breakfast sausage
• 1 cup white or cremini mushrooms, sliced
• 1 small yellow onion, finely chopped
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 4 large eggs
• 1 cup half-and-half
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the pre-made pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish, pressing it gently into the dish, and crimp the edges. Set aside.

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground sausage until browned and fully cooked, breaking it into smaller pieces with a wooden spoon. Remove the sausage from the skillet and set it aside on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess grease.

Step 3

In the same skillet, melt the butter and add the chopped onion. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened, then add the sliced mushrooms. Cook for an additional 5-6 minutes until the mushrooms are tender and any liquid has evaporated. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Step 4

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, half-and-half, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder until well combined.

Step 5

Sprinkle the cooked sausage evenly over the bottom of the pie crust, followed by the sautéed mushroom and onion mixture.

Step 6

Spread the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheeses evenly over the sausage and vegetables.

Step 7

Pour the egg mixture over the filling, ensuring it is evenly distributed.

Step 8

Place the quiche onto the middle rack of the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden brown.

Step 9

Remove the quiche from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing.

Step 10

Optional: Garnish the quiche with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
