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).

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.
