Quiche


Surprisingly, my husband and I never tasted quiche until this Christmas while visiting my Dad. Someone had given my stepmom a quiche and she popped it in the oven for breakfast. After tasting it, my hubs was begging me to try to make one. It is so easy! I made this recipe for him right after New Year's and he said all it needed was some peppers. I added red bell pepper and some bacon this time. SO good.


Sausage and Carmelized Onion Quiche

6 eggs
1/4 cup milk
1/3 cup cottage cheese
Shredded Cheese (any kind would work, I used Cheddar Jack)
6-8 cooked sausage links diced
1/2 a sweet onion sliced thinly and cooked until caramelized
1 pre-made pie crust
Salt and Pepper to taste
1/4 tsp onion powder
1 tsp dried chives
Cayenne pepper (omitted)

I used half a red bell pepper and three slices of bacon

Pre bake the pie crust at 350 for about 10 minutes, remove to cool
Spread the caramelized onions in the bottom of the pie crust, add the meat and top with as much cheese as you like
In a seperate bowl, mix the beaten eggs, cottage cheese, milk and spices, until well incorported and pour over the pie crust.
Bake at 350 for approximately an hour, check and cook for additional time as needed, you dont want the quiche to wiggle at all. Remove from oven and cool for 10 minutes.
Cut and serve, with sour cream if you wish!
