ITALIAN SAUSAGE AND RED ONION QUICHE
These flavours blend beautifully to make a lovely, robust quiche. You could use an unbaked pie shell rather than dough- this is just how I make it. If your quiche pan is tall, you may like to increase the egg and cream mixture in a ratio of 4 eggs: 1 cup cream.

Tips:
- Use a good quality Italian sausage for the best flavor. If you can't find Italian sausage, you can substitute ground pork or beef.
- Be sure to cook the sausage thoroughly before adding it to the quiche filling. This will help to prevent the quiche from becoming greasy.
- Use a sharp cheddar cheese for the best results. A mild cheddar cheese will not provide as much flavor.
- If you don't have a quiche pan, you can use a 9-inch pie plate instead. Just be sure to trim the edges of the pie crust so that it fits snugly into the pan.
- Serve the quiche warm or at room temperature. It is also delicious the next day.
Conclusion:
This Italian sausage and red onion quiche is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It is also a great way to use up leftover Italian sausage. With its savory filling and flaky crust, this quiche is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
