Photo: Country Quiche Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground pork sausage with sage
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 20 grape tomatoes, sliced in half and sprinkled with salt
- 6 large eggs
- 10 ounces sharp Cheddar cheese, grated (about 2 1/2 cups)
- Salt and pepper
- Two 9-inch unbaked frozen pie shells (set them out to thaw while preparing the other ingredients)
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
In a large skillet, cook the sausage until browned and cooked through, about 10 minutes. Then remove with a slotted spoon and reserve.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk the baking powder, tomatoes and eggs together. Add the cooked sausage and the cheese to the egg mixture and stir together with a large spoon. Add salt and pepper and divide the mixture between both unbaked pie shells. Bake until the filling is set, about 30 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Cook's Notes: To lighten up this quiche, use turkey sausage and egg substitute.
Garth likes this quiche with cheese tortellini. If you add tortellini, cover with egg or the pasta will burn when the quiche bakes.

Have always been intimidated by quiches. Saw Trisha make it one Sat. morning and thought it looked easy enough. I made it, only used Italian sausage and didn't have any grape tomatos so I sliced regular tomato thinly and placed in the bottom of the pie crust. Man, that was so easy and it was a great hit...it was even better the next day! Next time gonna try substituting leftover turkey breast (chopped up and some sauteed portabellos for the sausage...

We loved this quiche. I used hot sausage and also added 2 eggs, 1/2 cup milk and some onion. It was even better reheated the next day! Simple and delicious recipe.
