How to Make Sausage Cheese Quiche
- Cook 1 lb Italian sausage in a large skillet over medium heat, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned. Drain off any excess grease.
- Add 1 tbsp pork fat (reserved from sausage) to the skillet and sauté 1 medium yellow onion, chopped, until softened (about 5 minutes).
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese and 2 tbsp all-purpose flour. Stir in the cooked sausage and onion.
- Pour the sausage and cheese mixture into a 9-inch unbaked pie crust. Gently press down to distribute evenly.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 large eggs, 1 cup milk, 1/2 cup heavy cream, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Pour this mixture over the sausage and cheese filling.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 35-40 minutes, or until the quiche is set and lightly golden brown. Let cool for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving.
