Lazy Quiche with Sausage, Onions, and Peppers

Quiche is a super easy dish that is great for brunch and is also satisfying for lunch or dinner. It is freezer-friendly and super versatile. For that reason, it's become one of my go-to meals to drop off at a friend's house when they have just had a baby or someone is sick. It's tasty warmed with a salad for a fuss-free brunch with friends, or cold as a snack in the middle of a sleepless night.

Ingredients

1 - onion
1 - bell pepper
4 sprigs - fresh oregano
6 - eggs
¾ cup - half and half
¾ cup - whole milk
½ cup - Colby jack cheese
½ cup - mozzarella
12 ounces - Spicy pork breakfast sausage
1 tsp - Salt
½ tsp - pepper
Frozen pie crust

Instructions

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