Weekend Brunch Spinach Mushroom Sausage Quiche Recipes

SAUSAGE AND SPINACH QUICHE RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Roll out pie dough to about ¼" thick and press into a 9" pie plate. If using a premade pie crust, remove it from the refrigerator about an hour before you make your quiche so that it warms up to room temperature. Roll out the pie crust as directed on the packaging and arrange in a 9" pie plate.
• Place in the freezer for a few minutes, just until it is no longer super soft, then pull out and line the inside with aluminum foil. Fill with pie weights or dried beans and bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for about 15 minutes. Remove from the oven, carefully remove the foil and set aside.
• In a saute pan over medium-high heat, cook sliced sausage until golden brown, then drain on a paper towel. Add the sausage evenly over the bottom of the prepared pie crust.
• Sprinkle half of the shredded cheese over the sausage, then add the spinach.
• In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, cream, milk, salt, pepper, nutmeg, mustard, and cayenne. Mix until well combined, then pour over the sausage and spinach mixture. Top with remaining cheese.
• Bake the quiche in a preheated 350 degree oven for about 30-40 minutes, or until the egg mixture is set in the middle. You can test by gently shaking the pan just a little to see if the middle of the quiche is still runny. If you still aren't sure, insert a toothpick or knife into the center and it should come out clean.
• Once baked, remove from the oven and allow to cool for at least 5 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!

WEEKEND BRUNCH: SPINACH, MUSHROOM & SAUSAGE QUICHE

Steps:

• For the crust: In the bowl of a food processor, pulse together the flour and 6 T of the butter until the mixture resembles course crumbs. With the machine running, slowly pour in the 1/4 cup water, stopping the machine as soon as it comes together. Form the dough into a ball, and flatten it to a disc. Wrap in plastic and place in the freezer for 25 minutes.
• Flour a work surface and roll out the dough to a 1/8" thickness. Press it in to a quiche pan, pie plate or springform pan. Place back in the freezer for another 20 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 375F.
• Prick the pastry using a fork, line it with foil and fill with rice, dry beans, or pie weights. Place in the oven for 20 minutes.
• In a large skillet over medium heat. brown the sausage, using a spoon or chopper to break it up into small pieces. Remove to a small bowl and set aside.
• Add the remaining 2 T butter to the pan and add the mushrooms. Saute until golden brown. Add the spinach and saute until wilted.
• Add the eggs and cream to the pitcher of a blender and blend on high until whipped and frothy (you can also do this by hand, but it takes about 10 seconds in a blender), season with salt and pepper.
• Remove the pan from the oven and carefully remove the weights. Add the sausage, mushrooms and spinach into the crust, spreading to the edges, then pour the egg mixture over. Top with the cheese.
• Return to the oven for another 30 minutes, until the filling is set and the top has browned. Cool to warm before cutting and serving.

SAUSAGE, MUSHROOM, AND SPINACH QUICHE

Steps:

• Cut butter into 1/2" cubes, wrap in plastic wrap, place in freezer for at least 30 minutes. Once butter has chilled, combine dry ingredients for crust and cut butter into dry ingredients (using blender or pastry cutter) until the butter is broken down into pea-sized pieces.
• Add water to the mixture and knead until the dough just comes together when pressed between your fingers. Gather into a disc, wrap disc in plastic wrap, and place in refrigerator for at least 20 minutes to chill. Once dough has chilled, preheat oven to 425 degrees and roll out dough to fill pie pan. Bake crust until light brown, about 10-15 minutes. Set aside to cool.
• Heat oil in sauce pan over medium heat and stir in onions. Cook onions on medium heat until soft, about 5 minutes. Add mushrooms, garlic and a generous amount of salt and sauté until all the water released from mushrooms has evaporated, about 10-15 minutes. Stir in baby spinach and cook until heated through, about 1-3 minutes. The spinach will shrink up a lot during this step. Remove from heat and set aside.
• Break sausage up into bit sized pieces and brown in skillet over medium heat until fully cooked, about 10-15 minutes. The internal temperature should reach at least 160 degrees F.
• Layer the sausage and mushroom-onion-spinach mixture along the bottom of the crust, cover with cheese. Whisk eggs, milk, salt, and pepper together. Pour egg mixture into pie crust until pan is filled (you may have some egg mixture leftover).
• At this point you proceed to the next step and bake the quiche or you can cover the quiche, place in refrigerator, and let sit for up to a day before baking.
• Once you are ready to bake the quiche, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and place quiche pan on a baking sheet (to avoid spilling in oven). Bake until filling appears firm, about 45-55 minutes. Remove from the oven and let sit for at least 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!

SAUSAGE & VEGGIE QUICHE RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Cook sausage over medium-high until lightly browned, about 5-7 minutes, being sure to break up the meat into a fine mince.
• Remove cooked sausage from pan and wipe away excess fat with a paper towel.
• Add onion and sauté until softened and translucent, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add mushrooms, salt, and pepper and continue to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
• Add chopped spinach and cook until wilted and no extra liquid has accumulated in the bottom of the pan.
• NOTE: Do your best to use the excessive moisture of the spinach and mushrooms to deglaze the bottom of the pan, scraping away any browned bits from cooking the sausage earlier.

• Once cooked, remove the spinach and mushroom mixture from the pan and combine it with the reserved cooked sausage. Stir to mix evenly.
• Combine eggs and milk. Lightly whisk until just combined.

• Pour in beaten eggs to fill the rest of the pie crust and top with a generous sprinkle of parmesan cheese.
