Ingredients for Baldpate Quiche

  • Breakfast Sausage
  • Dry Vegetable Soup Mix
  • Swiss Cheese
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 ½ cups refrigerated pie crust mix
  • Eggs

How to Make Baldpate Quiche

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a large bowl, mix together 1 pound of cooked sausage (browned and crumbled), 1 packet (1 ounce) dry onion soup mix, and 1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese.
  3. Spread the sausage mixture evenly in a well-greased 9-inch glass pie pan.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups refrigerated pie crust mix, 1 cup milk, and 3 large eggs.
  5. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the sausage mixture in the pie pan.
  6. Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the quiche is golden brown and set. A knife inserted near the center should come out clean.
  7. Let the quiche cool slightly before brushing the top with 1 tablespoon of melted butter for extra richness.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
