Ingredients

• 1 pound ground breakfast sausage
• 1 piece premade pie crust
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 cup shredded Swiss cheese
• 4 large eggs
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 0.5 cup whole milk
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon onion powder
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, chopped for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the premade pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish, pressing it gently into the edges. Trim any excess crust hanging over the edge of the dish.

Step 2

In a medium skillet over medium heat, cook the ground breakfast sausage until browned and fully cooked, breaking it into crumbles with a spatula. Drain any excess grease and set aside.

Step 3

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

Step 4

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, whole milk, salt, pepper, and onion powder until well combined.

Step 5

Spread the shredded cheddar and Swiss cheeses evenly over the sausage in the pie crust.

Step 6

Pour the egg mixture over the sausage and cheese, ensuring it fills the crust evenly.

Step 7

Carefully transfer the quiche to the preheated oven. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is lightly golden brown.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired. Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
