Sausage Spinach Crustless Quiche Food

SAUSAGE AND SPINACH QUICHE RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Roll out pie dough to about ¼" thick and press into a 9" pie plate. If using a premade pie crust, remove it from the refrigerator about an hour before you make your quiche so that it warms up to room temperature. Roll out the pie crust as directed on the packaging and arrange in a 9" pie plate.
• Place in the freezer for a few minutes, just until it is no longer super soft, then pull out and line the inside with aluminum foil. Fill with pie weights or dried beans and bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for about 15 minutes. Remove from the oven, carefully remove the foil and set aside.
• In a saute pan over medium-high heat, cook sliced sausage until golden brown, then drain on a paper towel. Add the sausage evenly over the bottom of the prepared pie crust.
• Sprinkle half of the shredded cheese over the sausage, then add the spinach.
• In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, cream, milk, salt, pepper, nutmeg, mustard, and cayenne. Mix until well combined, then pour over the sausage and spinach mixture. Top with remaining cheese.
• Bake the quiche in a preheated 350 degree oven for about 30-40 minutes, or until the egg mixture is set in the middle. You can test by gently shaking the pan just a little to see if the middle of the quiche is still runny. If you still aren't sure, insert a toothpick or knife into the center and it should come out clean.
• Once baked, remove from the oven and allow to cool for at least 5 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!

SAUSAGE SPINACH CRUSTLESS QUICHE

Steps:

• Cook sausage on top of the stove and drain. In a large bowl toss sausage with chopped spinach, onions, mushrooms and 1/2 cup of cheese. Spray a baking dish with cooking oil and add sausage mixture. I used a 10 inch pie plate to make this.
• In the same bowl you used to toss sausage and spinach whisk together the eggs, milk, sour cream, garlic powder, black pepper and salt. Pour this over the sausage mixture in the baking dish. Sprinkle on the other 1/2 cup shredded cheese.
• Bake in preheated 400 degree oven for 40 to 45 minutes until center is set and top is browned.

• Spoon the sausage cream cheese mixture into a greased 11x7 inch casserole dish.

• Pour the egg mixture over the sausage and spinach and use a spoon to move things around just a big to let the eggs get down into the mixture.

• Remove and let cool for about 5 minutes before cutting and serving.

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.
