This—our most popular recipe—is made with mild Italian sausage made especially for us by our local butcher. For best flavor, choose sausage that is not too heavily spiced. LEE ANN MILLER—Millersburg, Ohio

Italian Sausage Quiche Recipe

Prep: 30 min. Bake: 35 min. + standing

Yield: 6 Servings

30 35 65

Ingredients

Pastry for single-crust pie (9 inches)
1 pound bulk Johnsonville® Ground Sausage
1/4 cup chopped onion
1/4 cup chopped green pepper
4 teaspoons chopped seeded jalapeno pepper
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded sharp cheddar cheese
3 eggs
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1 teaspoon minced fresh parsley
1 teaspoon minced fresh basil
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/8 teaspoon salt
Dash garlic powder
Dash cayenne pepper

Directions

Roll out pastry to fit a 9-in. pie plate. Transfer pastry to pie plate. Trim pastry to 1/2 in. beyond edge of plate; flute edges. Line unpricked pastry with a double thickness of heavy-duty foil. Fill with dried beans, uncooked rice or pie weights.
Bake at 450° for 8 minutes. Remove foil and weights; bake 5 minutes longer. Cool on a wire rack.
Meanwhile, in a large skillet, cook the sausage, onion, green pepper and jalapeno over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. Spoon into shell and sprinkle with cheese.
In a large bowl, whisk the remaining ingredients; pour over cheese. Bake at 375° for 35-40 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Let stand for 10 minutes before cutting. Yield: 6 servings.

Editor's Note: Wear disposable gloves when cutting hot peppers; the oils can burn skin. Avoid touching your face.

Delicious and easy. Did not use a pie crust, made it w/out b/c I don't want the flour base. Used mild Italian sausage and made the rest as is. Four tsp of jalapeno is not too much! With a little fresh sour cream on the side, this is a very, very tasty quiche. Served it w/ TOH's Honey Fruit Salad and Strawberry Cooler. All recipes are KEEPERS!

It was delicious.

This is the best quiche I have ever had! I used a couple of tsp. of jalapeno pepper from a jar so I didn't have to deal with chopping a fresh pepper and it was delicious! Highly recommend this recipe.
