Easy Sausage, Mushroom, Spinach Quiche Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 refrigerated pie crust. Of course, you can make your own, but no need to be a Christmas breakfast martyr. Save your homemade awesome for dinner.
- 1/2 lb breakfast sausage, cooked and crumbled
- 1/2 small onion, diced
- 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup Egg Beaters (or generic brand of egg substitute you snag for less)
- 1 cup half and half
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp dried parsley
- 1 cup shredded Mexican cheese blend
- 1 cup fresh spinach
Directions
1. Take your pie crust out of the fridge and allow it to come to room temperature. While waiting you can do any number of things. Personally, I spend my time watching Dodge Dart videos and stalking US Weekly for JT pregnancy reports and Ryan Gosling baby sightings.
2. Once pie crust is ready (about 30 minutes) unroll it into your pie pan. I use a 9 inch one.
3. In medium skillet, crumble your breakfast sausage and cook on medium until no pink is left.
4. Remove sausage from pan when done and, if desired, drain all but about 2 tablespoons of drippings from pan. Me? I don’t drain because that is where the heart attack tastiness is.
5. Add onions to pan. Cook for about 2 minutes.
6. Add mushrooms to the onions Cook until soft. Remove from heat.
7. In a bowl combine eggs and egg substitute, half and half, and all seasonings. Beat.
8. Fold in cheese.
9. Fold in sausage, and onion/mushroom mixture.
10. Add spinach. Mix.
11. Pour everything into pie crust.
12. Bake at 375 for about 40 minutes, or until middle is mostly set. If it looks all Jello wiggly, then it’s probably not quite done. Give it a few more minutes to cook.
13. Remove from oven and let cool some. It should set even more as it cools.
14. When your family wanders in, show them your creation. If they grimace and turn their heads in disgust, feel free to act indignant even though we all know you don’t mean it because you didn’t want to share with them anyway.
15. Make your judgy family boxed mashed potatoes and frozen chicken patties for dinner and then grub your meal right in front of them. Haters gonna hate and those with a more sophisticated palette are gonna eat better.
