Blind Bake the crust
1
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
2
Pull your frozen pie crust out and prick the bottom of the crust with a fork 6-8 times.
3
Line the pie crust with either parchment paper or aluminum foil, then fill the lined pie crust with pie weights or dry beans.
4
Cook the pie crust for 10 minutes with the weights or beans. Then remove the weights and bake for another 5 minutes.
Prepping the filling
1
Heat the olive oil in a fry pan on medium heat.
2
Add the onion and bell pepper cooking until soft, about 6-7 minutes.
3
Set the vegetables aside and add the sausage to the pan in bite size pieces. Saute for 10 minutes or until the sausage is browned. Place the hot sausage on a plate with a paper towel to cool.
4
In a large bowl mix together the eggs, cream, milk, cheese, salt, pepper, and oregano.
5
Fold in the sausage, pepper, and onions.
6
Pour the egg filling into the par-baked pie crusts.
7
Bake the quiche at 350°F for about 40-45 minutes, or until edges are set and the center jiggles slightly.
8
Let the quiche cool for 15 minutes and then serve.

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Pre-cook Your Sausage 🍖Brown the sausage completely before adding to the quiche to render out excess fat and develop deeper flavor, preventing a greasy final dish.
- Caramelize Your Onions ✨Cook onions low and slow for 10-15 minutes until golden and sweet, which adds rich depth that elevates the entire quiche beyond basic flavors.
- Let Crust Pre-bake Slightly ⏱️Blind bake your frozen crust at 375°F for 5-7 minutes before adding the custard to prevent a soggy bottom crust from the egg mixture.
- Blend Your Custard Smoothly 🥣Whisk eggs with cream thoroughly before pouring to ensure an even, creamy texture throughout rather than separated, curdled pockets.
- Rest Before Slicing 🧊Allow the finished quiche to cool for 15-20 minutes before cutting; this sets the custard so slices hold together cleanly instead of crumbling.
