Ingredients
1 9-inch pie crust
1/2 pound breakfast sausage
1/2 cup roasted red peppers, chopped
4 large eggs
1 cup half-and-half
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and blind bake the pie crust for 10 minutes. Let cool.
2. In a skillet, cook sausage over medium heat until browned. Drain fat and cool slightly.
3. Whisk eggs, half-and-half, salt, and pepper in a bowl until frothy.
4. Layer sausage over crust, followed by roasted red peppers and cheddar cheese.
5. Pour egg mixture over the fillings evenly.
6. Bake for 35–40 minutes until the center is set and the top is golden.
7. Let rest for 10 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
Blind baking the crust keeps it from getting soggy once filled.
Letting the quiche rest after baking helps it firm up for clean slicing.
