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.
  • While the shell is baking, in a large skillet cook the sausage with the bell peppers, covered, over moderately high heat, stirring and breaking up any lumps, for 7 minutes, or until the sausage is no longer pink and the bell peppers are soft, and drain the mixture, discarding the excess fat. 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.

I'm not a big fan of quiche, but this one was really good. The flavors were great and the crust was perfect.

This quiche is a great way to use up leftover sausage and red bell pepper. It's also a great dish to make for a crowd.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my quiche didn't turn out as good as the picture. It was still tasty, but it wasn't as fluffy.

The quiche was good, but it wasn't anything special. I've had better.

This quiche was a bit too dry for my taste. I think I would add more milk or cream next time.

This quiche was delicious! I used a pre-made crust to save time, and it still turned out great. I would definitely make this again.

This quiche was a hit with my family! The flavors of the sausage, red bell pepper, and cheese were perfectly balanced. The crust was flaky and golden brown. I will definitely be making this again!
