Our family loves Italian food, especially when I make my homemade Spaghetti Sauce and Mighty Meatballs. The sauce cooks long and slow and fills the kitchen with such a delightful aroma it makes everyone hungry. Plus, it’s a wonderful recipe to make with kids, who …
Breakfast Quiche is perfect for a weekend brunch or for a light supper with a salad.
I love this recipe. It’s simple. And very tasty. It’s elegant and pretty enough for special entertaining, such as a Mother’s Day Brunch, or for Christmas or Easter. Yet it’s easy enough to make when you want a light dinner in the spring or summer.
For the Crust:
For the Filling:
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Combine all-purpose flour and salt in a medium mixing bowl. Cut in shortening with a pastry fork until mixture resembles crumbs. Add cold water in two parts, until dough comes away from the bowl.
On a lightly floured surface, roll dough to fit a 9-in pie plate or quiche pan. Transfer to pie plate. Trim and flute edges.
For filling, brown the sausage in a medium skillet. Allow the sausage to cool for a little bit. Sprinkle sausage in the pie crust.
In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, half and half, salt, nutmeg, and parsley. Stir in cheese. Pour egg mixture over the sausage.
On lowest rack, bake at 425 degrees for 15 minutes. Reduce temperature to 375 degrees. Continue baking for 35-45 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Let stand 10 minutes before cutting. Makes 6-8 servings.
When forming the crust, (which is basically half of my regular pie dough) I like to use a deep pie dish, which holds the filling without coming too close to the brim. A 9-inch quiche or tart pan would also work, if you own one. I don’t, so I just use my big pie dish.
Brown your sausage ahead of time or at the beginning of this process so the sausage has time to cool a bit before being placed on the prepared pastry.
Use Half-and-half rather than whole milk.
Use block or chunk cheese and shred it yourself. It doesn’t take that much extra time to do it yourself, and it tastes so much better.
Bake the quiche on your lowest oven rack. Begin baking at 425 degrees for 15 minutes. Then lower the temperature to 375 and finish baking until quiche has set. Test when a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
Allow quiche to set for at least 10 minutes before serving. Serve Breakfast Quiche with Blueberry Muffins, Mixed Berry Scones, or Cinnamon Rolls.

Here is a fun recipe to make for your next German dinner or Oktoberfest. Unlike most recipes, these Bierocks with Sausage and Cabbage use sausage instead of ground burger, mixed with onion and shredded cabbage and then nestled inside a tender, homemade bread dough.
