Sausage and Ranch Quiche
Saw the latest post from “Plain Chicken” website in FB for Sausage and Ranch Quiche and I knew we had to try it. This site always has the best, simple, real recipes so I visit if often for ideas. Anything I have tried always turns out great. We loved it and since I had a second pie crust I went ahead and made a 2nd one and froze it. Looking forward to seeing how that turns out from frozen state.
I did change it up a little by using Jimmy Dean Turkey Sausage crumbles and low fat heavy cream. Neither change made any difference in my opinion and saved us a few calories ? If you use the Turkey crumbles frozen like I did you will need to add about 5-10 minutes to cooking time.Recipe:
-
1 (9-inch) frozen deep dish pie crust
-
8-oz sausage (Jimmy Dean or Tennessee Pride)
-
1/2 cup prepared Ranch dressing
-
1/2 cup shredded cheese
-
3 eggs
-
1 cup heavy cream or milk
-
dash black pepper
-
Preheat oven to 350ºF.
-
In a skillet, cook sausage until no longer pink. Drain fat. Combine cooked sausage and Ranch dressing. Drop crumbles of sausage mixture in bottom of pie crust. Top with shredded cheddar cheese.
-
Whisk together eggs, pepper and cream. Pour egg mixture over sausage and cheese mixture in pie crust.
-
Bake 1 hour. Allow quiche to rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.
