Sausage Mushroom Quiche

Sausage Mushroom Quiche

I'm going to type this just like my "fat" recipe is and then under that I will suggest alternatives to make it more weight loss friendly.

1/2 to 1 lb breakfast sausage (cooked and drained)
1 to 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1 ~ 4 oz can mushrooms
1 Tablespoon minced onion
5 eggs
3/4 cup half and half
1 tsp salt
1/4 to half tsp pepper
1 frozen or homemade deep dish unbaked pie shell

In a bowl combine sausage, cheese, mushrooms and onion: sprinkle into pastry shell.  Combine (whisk good) the eggs, cream, salt and pepper; pour over sausage mixture.

Bake at 375 for 35~40 minutes or until nicely browned and knife come out clean, should be firm to the touch.  Let stand for 10 minutes before cutting.

Alternatives: 

Breakfast Turkey Sausage
reduced fat mozzarella cheese
fat free half and half..... never could understand that one ~ha
part egg beaters and eggs enough to equal 5 eggs
spray the pie pan and pour mixture in and bake with out a crust... I have not done this but am going to try it some time

Note:  If you skim milk in place of the half and half it tends to not keep as well and gets watery easier.....

This sounds yummy but i am still scared to try most meats.I loved sausage before rny ,Hope someday i can eat it again.Does this go down pretty smooth?
Love Deb

I don't really know if it goes down smoothe.... I made it for Debbie Darl'n when she came because I knew she could tolerate so many things....

If I was you I would wait till about 5 months out to try this... as it's pretty heavy. You seem to have difficulty with so many things..... maybe it will be something to look forward to?

Most people I have served it to sure seem to enjoy it.

I was thinking i would have to wait awhile longer. Sheesh i can get protein water stuck.So not in a hurry to really do new foods . But sure do sound good. Thinking Gail might like it though he loves omlets and stuff like that.Might try making it for him this weekend.
Love ya Deb
 Can ya tell i'm bored tonight i am just talking yur ear off LOL

I hope he likes it if you try it ...... Debbie Darl'n said she thought her family would like it too..... It sure is a hearty meal that for sure!  It would be good served with cornbread and some of that homemade apple butter.

Oh yeah on the apple butter.... I tried cooking the apples down and just mashing them with the potato masher but it was clumpy so I got out my ricer .....it really is not all that much to run them thru it.... have a bit more clean up but the apple butter is so smooth that way..... if you didn't mind it a *****unky you could skip the ricer part... I was just taught that way so I always do it....

Well I think I will get Tito and dive under the covers and try to get warm!  I'm so cold!  It's been fun chatting with you this evening...

Good night,
bec

Beautiful Beck!

Thanks so much for posting this recipe!!  I love it!  I'm going to make it for dinner sometime next week.

Love ya,

Debbie D.

Deb I cannot wait to try this---it sounds soooo yummy---I'm gonna try it without the crust.  I find that if it doesn't have crust or bread Im not tempted to eat it---if something has bread or crust I always end up eating a bite or two and regret it terribly in about 5 to 10 mins lol---so I've started trying to totally avoid any kind of bread or crust.  Thanks for the recpie

BECCCCC I meant Bec but Deb's post was the last I read so it came out typed as Deb lol
