Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb mild Italian sausage, casings removed
  • 1 medium shallot, finely chopped
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 ½ cups half-and-half
  • ½ tsp fine sea salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • ⅛ tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1 cup shredded Gruyère cheese
  • 1 (9-inch) frozen deep-dish pie crust

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F. In a skillet, brown sausage until crisp, about 8 minutes. Add shallot and cook until soft, 2 minutes. Drain fat.
  2. Whisk together eggs, half-and-half, salt, pepper, and nutmeg until smooth.
  3. Place pie crust on a baking sheet. Scatter sausage mixture and cheese evenly in crust. Pour egg mixture over top.
  4. Bake 35–40 minutes, until puffed and golden with a slight jiggle in the center. Shield crust edges with foil if browning too fast.
  5. Let cool 10 minutes, then slice and serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

For the cleanest slices, let the quiche rest a full 15 minutes before cutting. This dish is just as good served cold the next day straight from the fridge.
