Deliciously Gluten-Free
Ingredients:
(This recipe can be made with a regular pie crust for those not eating gluten free)
1 Gluten-Free
Pie Crust (I used Wholly gluten free frozen pie crust)
4 Eggs,
whisked
½ c Half &
Half
Red Pepper,
chopped
Onion,
chopped
Breakfast
Sausage, cooked
Fresh Spinach,
chopped
Cheese, shredded
(I used cheddar cheese)
Garlic powder
Salt
Pepper
Olive oil
Aluminum
foil
Directions:
Preheat oven
to 350°. Cook the breakfast sausage in a skillet or sauce pan. (I bought local
medium breakfast sausage so I didn’t need to add any spices.)
Thaw out the pie
crust for 10 minutes.
Whisk 4 eggs in a medium sized bowl. Pour half & half
into the whisked eggs.
Chop red peppers, onion and spinach. (I used a ¼ red
pepper and ¼ onion chopped small. About 10 spinach leaves chopped or as much as
desired.) In a small sauce pan, add a little olive oil to just coat the bottom.
Put onions and peppers in sauce pan and sprinkle salt, pepper, and garlic
powder on the onions and peppers in the pan. Once cooked, add the cooked onions
and peppers to the egg and half & half mixture.
Now add the cheese to the
mixture. (I used about ¾ c shredded from the block of cheddar cheese.) Add salt
and pepper to taste and stir together all the ingredients.
Pour the mixture
into the pie crust. (I did not cook the crust before baking the quiche.)
Place
a thin strip of aluminum foil around the edges. This will prevent it from
burning.
Bake on the middle rack of the oven for 1 hour. Remove and let cool
for 10 minutes.
Slice, serve and enjoy!
