Sausage and Three Cheeses Quiche

Ingredients:

1 9-inch Pie Crust, store-bought or homemade, uncooked (can be frozen and helps if it is cold prior to filling)
1/2 lb Mild Italian Sausage
1/2 White Onion, diced
Pinch of Salt
1/2 Green Bell Pepper, diced
4 oz Cream Cheese, room temperature
1/2 C Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
3 Eggs
1 C Heavy Whipping Cream
2 T Sour Cream
Pinch of Ground Black Pepper
1/2 C Shredded Parmesan Cheese
Fresh or Dried Parsley

Directions:

Cook and crumble sausage and onion (with a pinch of salt) until sausage is browned. Add green pepper and cook until just tender.

Remove from heat and stir in cream cheese until cheese has melted and been incorporated.

Scoop this mixture into the unbaked pie crust and spread evenly.

Sprinkle mozzarella cheese over meat mixture.

In a small bowl, whisk together eggs, heavy whipping cream, sour cream and pinch of pepper.

Pour egg mixture over meat and cheese mixture. Top with parmesan cheese. Sprinkle with a bit of parsley.

Bake at 350 degrees F for one hour or until done.

Remove from oven and allow to cool ten minutes before slicing and serving.

Yield: 6-8 Servings

Note: If crust begins to get too brown, cover edges with aluminum foil.
