Yield Serves 2 as an entrée

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into bits
1 tablespoon cold vegetable shortening
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 pound hot or sweet Italian sausage, casings discarded and the meat chopped
2 red bell peppers, minced (about 1 1/4 cups)
1/4 cup grated Cheddar
2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan
2 large eggs
1/2 cup heavy cream
3 tablespoons milk

Steps:

  • In a bowl blend together the flour, the butter, the shortening, and a pinch of salt until the mixture resembles meal, add 1 1/2 tablespoons ice water, and toss the mixture until the water is incorporated, adding more water if necessary to form the dough into a ball. Pat the dough into 7 1/2-inch tart pan with a removable rim and bake the shell in the bottom third of a preheated 425°F. oven for 7 minutes, or until it is just golden.

Transfer the mixture to a bowl, stir in the remaining salt, the Cheddar, and the Parmesan, and spread the mixture in the bottom of the shell. In a bowl whisk together the eggs, the cream, and the milk, pour the egg mixture over the sausage mixture, and bake the quiche on a baking sheet in the middle of a preheated 425°F. oven for 15 minutes. Reduce the temperature to 350°F. and bake the quiche for 10 minutes more.

ITALIAN SAUSAGE AND RED ONION QUICHE



Italian Sausage and Red Onion Quiche image

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.

Provided by Shuzbud

Categories     Savory Pies

Time 1h

Yield 1 quiche, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 sheet shortcrust pastry dough (ready rolled)
3/4 lb Italian sausage
2 garlic cloves, crushed
3/4 red onion, finely diced
3 large eggs
3/4 cup heavy cream
1 cup grated cheddar cheese
salt and pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F or 180°C.
  • Lay the sheet of pastry dough over a 9-inch quiche pan, pressing the dough gently into the crimped edges. Cut away any excess dough so the pastry is level with the top of the pan.
  • Prick the base of the pastry with a fork.
  • In a skillet over medium heat, start to cook the italian sausage and crushed garlic. Cook for 8-10 minutes, mashing the italian sausage into small chunks with the spatula.
  • Add the red onion and cook for a further 2 minutes.
  • Remove from the heat. Evenly spoon the italian sausage and red onion into the pastry shell.
  • Scatter the cheese over the sausage mixture.
  • Mix the eggs and cream together and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Pour carefully over the other ingredients in the pastry shell, leaving a little space for the mixture to rise slightly in the oven.
  • Bake in the oven for 40-45 minutes or until the egg mixture is cooked and set.
  • Let stand for 5 minutes before cutting.
  • Serve hot or cold!

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.
