Dan's Christmas Quiche
Quiche Recipe:
Ingredients:
crust ... Let's be honest, premade Pillsbury piecrust is the best.
8oz. Philadelphia Cream Cheese softened to room temperature.
6 Sales West Coop Organic Eggs
1 1/2 Cups Whole Milk
1/2 t. Nutmeg
1 t. White Pepper
Salt to taste
1 lb. Hot Italian Sausage
1 Cup Romano Cheese
1 Large Onion
1 red pepper
1 green pepper
1 bunch of Italian parsley
Instructions:
- Roll out piecrust to cover a deep dish pie plate. With a fork poke holes in the crust entirely. I put crust in oven heated to 350 for at least 20 minutes. Takeout and set aside.
- Dice the red and green pepper, and one large white onion. Sauté all three in a small amount of avocado oil till tender.
- In your blender, carafe add 1 1/2 cups of whole milk, one package of Philadelphia cream cheese, cut up in chunks, six eggs, and salt, white pepper, and nutmeg. Blend thoroughly.
- Now you are ready to combine all ingredients before baking. Turn your oven to 425°. You'll bake your quiche at 425° for 15 minutes then turn down to 375 and bake another 40 minutes or so until done.
Take your empty pie plate with your partially baked crust and add the drained and dry sausage meat. Add your peppers and onions on top of the sausage. Take about half of your grated Romano cheese and sprinkle over the sausage and peppers.
Pour your blended liquids over your dry ingredients in your pie dish. Sprinkle the remaining grated Romano cheese on top. I baked as directed with the quiche being done when all but the very quarter sized center is firm with a slightly jiggly center.
- I take the quiche out and let it rest until cooled. Once cooled, decorate the quiche, using Italian parsley to make a wreath around the edges and leftover red and green peppers to make Holly.
- Quiche is traditionally served at room temperature, but can be warmed up if desired
