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).

titabell-try usning reduced fat pie crust (in tubes by Pillsbury with the tubes of biscuits, etc.) and Italian turkey sausage, 1 % or skim milk and part egg-whites instead of all whole eggs. That should make a difference that might work for you.

I've made similar recipes so I know this will be a big hit with all the ingredients we like best. BUT ... samll family so should I freeze the second quiche baked or unbaked? Sounds as if it should be unbaked due to the extra cooking time.

This is delicious!

This is delicious and my family & friends LOVED it! However, I replaced the peppers with thinly sliced zucchini instead (which we like much better). I also used about 4-5 cloves of garlic, more parmesan cheese, and added more spices such as dried parsley, a few shakes of hot pepper sauce, cayenne & regular black peppers, garlic powder & salt; onion powder & salt. I fried up the bulk italian sausage with the XL vadalia onion, garlic & zucchini too (then drained). There are no seasonings at all listed in this recipe and you HAVE to add some! With my changes, it's awesome!

This recipe would have to be modified. Too fattening. 10 Weight Watcher points per slice. Any suggestions?

The pie shells come in a tin. They are in your grocer's frozen food section. Pre heat the oven to 400. Do not thaw the pie shells first. cover the pie shells with 2 layers of foil (yes the edges too) bake for 4 minutes. Take the foil off and bake 2 minutes. Then follow the reast of the directions. This recipe makes 2 quiches. If you only want one then cut the recipe in 1/2 or make 2 and freeze one.

Yes, it's advisable to pre-bake the pie shells. The dough is then fully cooked and will not be gummy. Important step when making quiche.

AWSOME QUICHE WOULD DEFINITELY MAKE OVER AND OVER AGAIN

Reviewed on Jul. 20, 2010 by Linda Katherine

I am not sure I understand. Are the 2 unbaked pastry shells, pie crusts in tin pans? Is it necessary to bake them first?
