CRUSTLESS TURKEY SAUSAGE, CHEESE & MUSHROOM QUICHE

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 350°. Grease a 9-inch deep-dish pie pan with non-stick cooking spray, set aside. In a large bowl, add eggs and beat, add turkey sausage, mushrooms, cheese, peppers and salt, stir until ingredients are well incorporated. Pour mixture into prepared pie pan. Bake for 30 - 40 minutes, or until eggs are cooked and set. Let cool 5 minutes before slicing and serving. Note: You can use a variety of veggies in place of the mushrooms such as; asparagus, spinach, zucchini etc. You can use cooked, crumbled turkey bacon in place of the turkey sausage, you can also layer thinly sliced tomatoes, or chopped sun-dried tomatoes on top of the quiche before baking.

SAUSAGE AND SPINACH QUICHE

Steps:

• Cook sausage till browned, breaking it up as you go, drain on paper towels and set aside.
• Thaw spinach in microwave or if you are cooking fresh you will need almost double. I like the finely chopped that is in a box for 1.00.
• Get out your pie crusts and line the bottoms with half the spinach, and sausage each.
• In a larger bowl combine all of the cheese but a handful, the eggs, half and half, salt, and pepper.
• Pour half of the mixture into each shell and sprinkle the remaining handful of cheese over both.
• Bake at 350 about 40-45 minutes. You can do a toothpick test, try not to overbake, your eggs won't be as fluffy.
• if your pie crusts are browning too fast you can cover them in foil just not the whole pie, you want a pretty light golden top and the air to make it rise.
• Serve warm. You can make the pies the night before and bake in the morning or they do reheat well. If you are freezing let it cool completely then portion out and wrap each slice individually or wrap the whole thing and freeze.
