BREAKFAST QUICHE

SUNADY FUNDAY BREAKFAST QUICHE



 
I was feeling the need for something comforting, rich in flavor, and semi simple to make for the Sunday football game. Although I was told this is NOT football food by the boy I made it anyways, and guess what... HE ATE HALF THE PIE!

Cook time: 35-40 min     Prep: 15min

Whacha need: 
- 5 Eggs
-2 Sausage
-2 Potatoes
-1 Roma Tomato
-1/2 half Bell Pepper ( I used red)
-1 cup cheese (mild cheddar)
- Fresh Parsley (I used roughly 1 cup)
- 1 cup Milk ( I used 2%)
- 1 Pie crust
- 1-2 Tblsp Olive Oil












First things first you're going to want to pre heat the over to 375.  Be sure your pie crust is out and becoming room temp. (if its too cold it wont bake properly)


SAUSAGE--- Now is a good time to start cooking your sausage, (I was planning on using 3 links but decided 2 would be enough so as not over power the dish into a sausage pie)  cut link open and crumble meat (or if you have ground sausage)  cook sausage thoroughly and set aside once cooked.



POTATOES--- instead of using store bought hash browns I decided to make my own. I used a cheese grater to grate my potatoes into hash brown material. Drop them into a pan on Medium - high heat with about 1 Tbsp Olive Oil, salt and pepper and let cook about 10 mins. ( flip to make sure they cook evenly)





PIE CRUST---Once the oven is up to heat you can put your pie crust in, I only put my pie crust in for 4-5 minutes instead of the 8-10min the package suggests.











FILLING---combined the  5 eggs, 1 cup milk, sausage, chopped tomato, chopped pepper, 1 cup of cheese, Potatoes, Parsley and a little salt and pepper. make sure everything is well blended/ mixed and then pour into pie crust.
                                               
-@ 375 bake your pie for 20mins when timer goes off rotate pie in over and bake an additional 16-20 mins         let stand for about 3-5 mins to allow pie to set and then enjoy!
