Ingredients

• 1 piece store-bought pie crust
• 8 ounces spicy sausage
• 4 large eggs
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 0.5 cup whole milk
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 0.5 cup shredded pepper jack cheese
• 0.25 cup green onions, chopped
• 0.5 cup red bell pepper, diced
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 0.25 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Press the pie crust into a 9-inch pie or tart pan. Trim and flute the edges if desired. Place it in the refrigerator to chill while you prepare the filling.

Step 3

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

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, and whole milk until smooth.

Step 5

Add the shredded cheddar cheese, shredded pepper jack cheese, green onions, red bell pepper, garlic powder, smoked paprika, crushed red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper to the egg mixture. Stir to combine.

Step 6

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

Step 7

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

Step 8

Place the quiche on the center rack of your preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown. To check for doneness, insert a toothpick into the center—it should come out clean.

Step 9

Remove the quiche from the oven and allow it to cool for 10-15 minutes before slicing.

Step 10

Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your Spicy Sausage Quiche!
