SAUSAGE MUSHROOM QUICHE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Prepare the mushrooms by snipping off the stems. Cut in half if large.
• Crumble the sausage in a large skillet, add the mushrooms, cook on medium-high heat until the meat and mushrooms are lightly browned and all the liquid from the mushrooms has evaporated. Drain off the grease. Add the parsley.
• In a large bowl, beat the eggs, adding the cream, cheese and salt. Pour into the mushroom/sausage mixture; blending well. Pour mixture into the pie shell.
• Bake in preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, until crust is well browned and the filling is set. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.

TORTELLINI WITH ITALIAN SAUSAGE, FENNEL, AND MUSHROOM

Steps:

• Heat oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add sliced fennel bulb, sausage, and mushrooms; sauté until sausage is brown and cooked through and fennel is almost tender, 12 to 15 minutes. Add garlic and fennel seeds; stir 1 minute. Stir in cream, then 1 cup broth; boil until liquid is reduced and very slightly thickened, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Meanwhile, cook tortellini in large pot of boiling salted water until just tender but still firm to bite, stirring occasionally. Drain tortellini; return to same pot.
• Add sausage mixture to tortellini in pot. Toss over medium heat until blended. Add spinach; toss gently until spinach wilts. Stir in 1/2 cup cheese; add more broth by 1/4 cupfuls to moisten if dry. Season with salt and pepper, sprinkle with chopped fennel fronds, and serve, passing additional cheese.

SAUSAGE MUSHROOM QUICHE

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the sausage, cheese, mushrooms, green pepper and onion; sprinkle into pastry shell. In a small bowl, combine the eggs, cream, mustard, salt and pepper; pour over sausage mixture., Bake at 375° for 35-40 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Let stand for 10 minutes before cutting.

SAUSAGE MUSHROOM QUICHE

Steps:

• In a skillet, cook sausage over medium high heat for three minutes, chopping into small pieces.
• Add the mushrooms, onion and peppers.
• Cook and stir five minutes longer or until sausage in no longer pink and the vegetables are tender; drain well and set aside.
• In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth.
• Gradually beat in eggs and milk.
• Stir in the cheeses, salt, pepper, nutmeg and the sausage misture.
• Pour into frozen pie shell.
• Bake uncovered (on cookie sheet) at 350 for 45 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. If necessary, cover edges of crust with foil to prevent over browling.

SAUSAGE, ONION AND PORTABELLA MUSHROOM QUICHE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350*. Lightly spray a 9" deep dish pie plate with cooking oil and set aside.
• Mix the corn flake crumbs with the melted butter. Using the back of a spoon, press into the bottom (not the sides) of the pie plate and bake for 5 minutes. Set aside.
• In a medium sized non-stick skillet, fry sausage until cooked and browned. (Mashing with a fork while cooking, will make it crumble nicely.) Drain the sausage on several paper towels, and set aside.
• Wipe the skillet dry using paper towels. Add the mushrooms and onions, and fry until the onions begin to soften. Dry frying will bring out the flavour in both the onions and the mushrooms. Toss with 3/4 cup reserved sausage and sprinkle over the cornflake crust. Top with shredded cheese.
• Mix together eggs, cream, thyme, salt and pepper. Carefully pour this mixture into the pie plate, so as not to disturb the crust. Sprinkle with chives.
• Bake at 350* for 35 minutes or until set and beginning to brown around the edge. Cool for 5 minutes before cutting.
