Ingredients
- 16 ounces breakfast sausage
- 5 large eggs

- 3/4 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground mustard
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
- 1 1/2 cups cheddar cheese grated
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350.
- In a medium skillet, cook the breakfast sausage over medium heat, breaking it up as it cooks until no pink remains. Drain on plate lined with paper towels and set aside.
- Place a pie crust of your choice (homemade, premade, etc.) in a 9-inch glass pie plate and crimp or shape the edges with a fork. If using a frozen crust, choose a 9-inch deep dish version. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, add the eggs, milk, cream, salt, pepper, and cayenne and whisk to combine and break up the eggs. Set aside.
- Sprinkle the cheese evenly into the bottom of the pie crust followed by the sausage then pour over the egg mixture.
- Place the quiche on a rimmed baking sheet to catch any spills and bake on the center rack until puffed and gently set, 30 to 35 minutes.
- Allow the quiche to sit 10 to 15 minutes before serving.
