Quiche

I love quiche every so often and this recipe is so tasty! My six your old called it "epic" and my husband had thirds. Can be made for breakfast, lunch or dinner and can be frozen for later (just bake it longer, until center is warm). The cream does make it heavy so it makes you fuller than you think. Tweaked a recipe from allrecipes.com. Makes  1-9" quiche.

Quiche

1-9" frozen pie crust
12 oz chub breakfast sausage of your choice
1 Tbsp bell pepper, diced
1/2 medium onion, diced
4 oz mushrooms, diced
3 eggs
3/4 c heavy cream, or whole milk
1/4 tsp vinegar
1 tsp fresh parsley, chopped
1/8 tsp tarragon
1/8 tsp garlic powder
pinch nutmeg
1 c shredded cheese

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bake frozen crust 10 minutes; set aside.
2. Meanwhile, in large skillet cook sausage over medium heat, crumbling as it cooks, until no longer pink. Drain most of the fat from pan. Add bell pepper, onion and mushrooms to skillet; cook 4 minutes. Remove from heat.
3. In medium bowl, mix eggs and cream. Add vinegar, parsley, tarragon, garlic powder, nutmeg and cheese. Stir in sausage and vegetables.
4. Pour into pie crust and bake in preheated oven 50 to 60 minutes, or until edges of crust are golden brown.
