Quiche Spinach Sausage Recipes

Steps:

• Cook sausage till browned, breaking it up as you go, drain on paper towels and set aside.
• Thaw spinach in microwave or if you are cooking fresh you will need almost double. I like the finely chopped that is in a box for 1.00.
• Get out your pie crusts and line the bottoms with half the spinach, and sausage each.
• In a larger bowl combine all of the cheese but a handful, the eggs, half and half, salt, and pepper.
• Pour half of the mixture into each shell and sprinkle the remaining handful of cheese over both.
• Bake at 350 about 40-45 minutes. You can do a toothpick test, try not to overbake, your eggs won't be as fluffy.
• if your pie crusts are browning too fast you can cover them in foil just not the whole pie, you want a pretty light golden top and the air to make it rise.
• Serve warm. You can make the pies the night before and bake in the morning or they do reheat well. If you are freezing let it cool completely then portion out and wrap each slice individually or wrap the whole thing and freeze.

Steps:

• Bake shell 400° for 7 minutes.
• Drop temperature to 375°.
• Cook sausage, onion and garlic until done.
• Drain.
• Stir in spinach and stuffing mix.
• Sprinkle first cheese and then sausage mix into pie crust.
• In bowl combine eggs and half& half.
• Pour over sausage mix.
• Bake 30 minutes.
• Sprinkle with parmesan and paprika.
• Bake 15 minutes longer.

Steps:

• Cook sausage over medium-high until lightly browned, about 5-7 minutes, being sure to break up the meat into a fine mince.
• Remove cooked sausage from pan and wipe away excess fat with a paper towel.
• Add onion and sauté until softened and translucent, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add mushrooms, salt, and pepper and continue to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
• Add chopped spinach and cook until wilted and no extra liquid has accumulated in the bottom of the pan.
• NOTE: Do your best to use the excessive moisture of the spinach and mushrooms to deglaze the bottom of the pan, scraping away any browned bits from cooking the sausage earlier.
• Preheat oven to 350˚F (180˚C).
• Once cooked, remove the spinach and mushroom mixture from the pan and combine it with the reserved cooked sausage. Stir to mix evenly.
• Combine eggs and milk. Lightly whisk until just combined.
• Add sausage and spinach mixture to the bottom of a prepared 9-inch (23cm) pie crust, making sure to spread it evenly.
• Pour in beaten eggs to fill the rest of the pie crust and top with a generous sprinkle of parmesan cheese.
• Bake at 350˚F (180˚C) for 25 minutes or until the eggs are set and the top is lightly browned. Allow to cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
• Enjoy!
