Ingredients

• 1 piece Pie crust (9-inch, pre-made or homemade)
• 0.5 pound Breakfast sausage
• 4 large Eggs
• 1 cup Half-and-half
• 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
• 0.5 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Dried parsley
• 2 tablespoons Green onions (thinly sliced)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Unroll the pie crust and press it into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim any excess dough and crimp the edges as desired. Set aside.

Step 3

In a medium skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage, breaking it into small crumbles with a spatula, until it’s browned and fully cooked. Drain any excess grease and set aside.

Step 4

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, half-and-half, salt, black pepper, and dried parsley until well combined.

Step 5

Sprinkle the cooked sausage evenly over the prepared pie crust.

Step 6

Top the sausage with shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheeses.

Step 7

Pour the egg mixture over the sausage and cheese, ensuring it covers the filling evenly.

Step 8

Sprinkle the top with the green onions for an extra burst of flavor.

Step 9

Place the quiche in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes or until the filling is set and the top is lightly golden. A knife inserted into the center should come out clean.

Step 10

Allow the quiche to cool for about 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Step 11

Serve warm, or let it cool completely and refrigerate for meal prep. Reheat slices in the oven or microwave as needed.
