Sausage & Veggie Quiche

Time: ★★★☆☆

Cooking Level: ★★☆☆☆

INGREDIENTS

• ½ pound chicken sausage

• ½ cup onion, chopped

• ½ cup mushroom, chopped

• 4 ounces spinach, chopped

• ½ teaspoon salt

• ½ teaspoon black pepper

• 6 eggs

• 1 cup milk

• 1 premade pie crust, thawed

• Parmesan cheese

DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 350˚F/180˚C.

2. Cook sausage over medium-high until lightly browned, about 5-7 minutes, being sure to break up the meat into a fine mince.

3. Remove cooked sausage from pan and wipe away excess fat with a paper towel.

4. Add onion and sauté until softened and translucent, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add mushrooms, salt, and pepper and continue to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes. Add chopped spinach and cook until wilted and no extra liquid has accumulated in the bottom of the pan. (NOTE: Do your best to use the excessive moisture of the spinach and mushrooms to deglaze the bottom of the pan, scraping away any browned bits from cooking the sausage earlier.)

5. Once cooked, remove the spinach and mushroom mixture from the pan and combine it with the reserved cooked sausage. Stir to mix evenly.

6. Combine eggs and milk. Lightly whisk until just combined.

7. Add sausage and spinach mixture to the bottom of a prepared 9-inch pie crust, making sure to spread it evenly. Pour in beaten eggs to fill the rest of the pie crust and top with a generous sprinkle of parmesan cheese.

8. Bake at 350˚F/180˚C for 25 minutes or until the eggs are set and the top is lightly browned. Allow to cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
