Weeknight Sausage, Spinach, and Swiss Quiche

One of our favorite meals is breakfast for dinner and this quiche fits the bill perfectly! You can change out ingredients to make it your own: for example, you can use bacon instead of sausage or asparagus instead of spinach. I hope that your family enjoys this quiche as much as mine does!

1-9 inch frozen pie crust

4 eggs

1 cup milk

1/2 t Salt

1/4 t Black Pepper

6 sausage links

1/2 C grated Swiss cheese

1/4 C baby spinach, cut into thin strips, bottom stems removed

Preheat oven to 350.

Remove pie crust from freezer and thaw according to the package directions.

While waiting for the crust to thaw and the oven to preheat, cook your sausage links. Place sausage links in a cold, nonstick pan and turn on the burner to medium high. Cook until the links are brown, turning often. This should take about 5 minutes. Remove sausage from the skillet when cooked and drain on paper towels. Cut the sausage links into 1/2 inch slices.

After your pie crust is thawed, move it to a parchment lined rimmed baking sheet. Prick the bottom of the crust with a fork to prevent bubbling.

Prepare the baby spinach leaves by cutting the bottom stem, then folding the leaves together. Slice the leaves to make thin strips.

Place the spinach, sausage, and grated Swiss cheese in the bottom of the pie crust.

Whisk the eggs and milk with salt and black pepper. Pour the egg mixture into the crust.

Place the quiche into the oven for 50-55 minutes. You can tell that it is done when a knife inserted comes out clean. Remove quiche from oven and cool for 10-20 minutes to give the filling time to set. Serve with fresh fruit for a delicious brunch or an easy weeknight breakfast for dinner.
