Quiche with Sausage Gravy

I like eggs, but I prefer then over medium, scrambled, poached or hard boiled. Quiche is not really a a way I think to prepare eggs. However, when I saw this recipe that had sausage in the quiche and sausage gravy on top. I felt the need to try it, I do love some sausage gravy.

This quiche just might make me try some other varieties of quiche. It was delicious and full of sausage flavor. I made my own pie crust, but you could easily use a store bought pie crust.

Quiche with Sausage Gravy

Ingredients:

• 16 ounces ground breakfast sausage
• 1 deep dish pie crust
• 6 eggs
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
• black pepper, to taste
• 1/4 cup all purpose flour
• 2 cups half and half

Directions:

1. In a medium skillet, over medium heat, cook the sausage, breaking it apart as it cooks, until completely cooked. Remove the skillet from the heat.
2. Preheat the oven to 350º F. Using cooking spray grease a deep dish pie pan. Place the pie crust into the pie pan and place onto a baking sheet.
3. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, sour cream, heavy whipping cream and black pepper. Stir in 1/2 of the sausage. Pour the mixture into a pie pan.
4. Bake for 40-45 minutes or until the eggs are set.
5. Meanwhile, heat the remaining sausage up one medium heat. Sprinkle the flour over top and stir until the sausage is well coated in flour.
6. While stirring the sausage, slowly pour the half and half over top. Continue to stir until the mixture has thickened. Season with black pepper.
7. Top each serving of quiche with some sausage gravy.

Enjoy!!!
