Italian Quiches Recipe

Prep: 25 min. Bake: 35 min. + standing

Yield: 12 Servings

25 35 60

Ingredients

2 unbaked pastry shells (9 inches)
1 pound bulk Johnsonville® Ground Sausage
4 cups (16 ounces) finely shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
1 medium green pepper, thinly sliced
1 medium sweet red pepper, thinly sliced
6 eggs
2 cups milk
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

Line unpricked pastry shells with a double thickness of heavy-duty foil. Bake at 400° for 4 minutes. Remove foil; bake 4 minutes longer.
In a large skillet, cook sausage over medium heat until no longer pink; drain. Spoon sausage into pastry shells; sprinkle with mozzarella cheese. Top with onion and peppers. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, milk and garlic. Pour over peppers; sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
Cover and freeze one quiche for up to 3 months. Cover edges of remaining quiche loosely with foil; place on a baking sheet. Bake at 400° for 35-40 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Let stand for 10 minutes before cutting.
To use frozen quiche: Remove from the freezer 30 minutes before baking (do not thaw). Cover edges of crust loosely with foil; place on a baking sheet. Bake at 400° for 50-60 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Let stand for 10 minutes before cutting. Yield: 2 quiches (6 servings each).

This was a real disappointment. The onions were so overpowering. I think they should be cooked first, instead of being put in raw. Now my whole freezer stinks of onions.

I made this recipe for the first time today and it was excellent! Easy to make and so delicious. I served it to company and they all had seconds. I didn't change anything and found the favors balanced each other nicely. I don't usually eat onions but they were great in this recipe. I love that I have an extra one in my freezer, and so does my family!

Great! My family loved this quiche. Even people who don't like onion will welcome some in this cheesy supper. I eliminated the peppers- my family isn't big on them. Instead of using sausage you can use 3 cups of cubed cooked ham. It was such a good supper, everyone will be sure to like it!

Absolutely delicious! I chose this recipe because I had mozzarella cheese on hand but no Swiss. The only thing I changed was that I used the full pound of Italian sausage because I only made one quiche. I'm glad I did because I think the quiche would have been a disappointment without the full pound of meat in it.
