Categories     main-dish

Time 1h50m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Vegetable oil, for poaching and sauteing
1/2 cup diced country ham
3 new potatoes, sliced 1/4-inch thick (about 1 1/2 cups)
1 homemade or store-bought refrigerated 9-inch pie crust
2 to 3 cups dried beans, to use as pie weights
4 large eggs, slightly beaten
3/4 cup half-and-half
Pinch kosher salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup grated aged gouda
1 green onion, chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the ham and saute until just starting to brown.
  • Place the potatoes in a small saucepan and cover with vegetable oil. Cook over low heat until the oil just starts to bubble and the potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes. Remove the potatoes and place on a paper towel-lined plate.
  • Meanwhile, line a 9-inch pie pan with the prepared pie crust and pierce with a fork. Cover with parchment and fill with the dried beans. Blind bake the crust for 10 minutes. Let cool, then carefully remove and discard the paper and beans.
  • In a medium bowl, beat together the eggs, half-and-half, salt and pepper. Layer the empty pie shell with the potatoes, ham, and 1/2 cup of the cheese. Pour the egg mixture over the filling. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup cheese and the green onions over the top. Bake on the bottom rack of the oven until the center just sets and the top is golden, 35 to 40 minutes.

COUNTRY SAUSAGE QUICHE



Country Sausage Quiche image

Quiche sounds so fancy and complicated but it's really simple to make. I love the fact that you can "make it your own" by changing one or two ingredients. The best part is that it can be made for breakfast lunch or dinner. Never any complaints at my house. That's for sure!

Categories     Savory Pies

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 refrigerated pie crust (pillsbury)
1/2 lb ground breakfast sausage
1 Tbsp olive oil
1 c chopped veggies
5 large eggs
1 c half and half
1 pinch red pepper flakes
1/4 tsp dried ground mustard
1/8 tsp garlic powder
1/8 tsp onion powder
1/8 tsp ground thyme
1-2 pinch salt and pepper
1 1/4 c shredded cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven according to pie crust instructions. Unroll pie crust and gently press into a pie plate crimping the edges using your fingers. Poke crust with a fork and bake the crust for approximately 5 minutes just to get it started.
  • 2. Meanwhile brown sausage in a medium skillet, drain on paper towel cool slightly. *I often use leftover chicken, roast beef, bacon bits, diced ham, sausage or a combination of two.
  • 3. While sausage is cooling use the same skillet to add 1 T olive oil & saute 1 - 1 1/2C mixed veggies diced in uniform pieces. I used 1/4 diced onion, 1/4 diced yellow bell pepper, 3 T. sliced mushrooms, 1/2 small zucchini diced. Let cool slightly. *any combination works: Chicken & broccoli or ground beef, onion, black olive w/salsa are some favorites*
  • 4. In a small mixing bowl combine eggs, half & half, red pepper flakes, mustard, garlic & onion powder, thyme, worcestershire sauce, salt & pepper and whisk really well. *using half & half (my favorite) or heavy cream makes this dish rich and decadent. Using milk just lightens this up a bit.
  • 5. Layer into pie shell browned meat, veggies, 1/2 of the shredded cheese & gently pour egg mixture over everything. Cover crust with foil and remove last 10 minutes of baking time.
  • 6. Bake at 375 degrees for 40 minutes until middle is done. *I place the quiche on a large cookie sheet to avoid boil over/spills in my oven.
  • 7. Remove from oven and top with remaining cheese and let stand for 10 minutes before serving. This is really good served room temperature too.

COUNTRY QUICHE

I got this idea from the recipes on Just A Pinch and the back of the gravy packet I used and the left over spinach in my refrigerator. The casserole is not complete without the bed of spinach for each serving. It just adds a nice flavor to the recipe and makes it moist. This is excellent as a dish for mid-afternoon or Brunch as...

Categories     Breakfast Casseroles

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 can(s) spinach drained set aside
1/2 roll of jimmy dean sausage cut into patties and fried then hand crumbled
1/4 c flour
1/2 pkg country gravy
4 0z or1/2 c whipped heavy cream
1 1/2 c water for making the gravy
1 potatoe diced and fried until 1/2 done then microwaved for 2 min
3 eggs beaten
1/2 small onion diced fried with potatoes
1 package country bisquits dough
1/2 c cheddar and mozzarela cheeses grated

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. And prepare all of your ingredients as indicated.
  • 2. Now for the gravy: In a jar add the 1/2 packet of Country Gravy and the 1/4 cup of flour. Add Cream and water and give it a shake until mixed. You will only use about 1/2 of the total amount of this for the recipe. When the recipe is cooked you can always make the remainder of gravy mix in the jar and pour over each serving.
  • 3. In a 1 1/2 quart casserole dish with a lid: Line the bottom with chunks of biscuit dough. Then crumble the Jimmy Dean Sausage over the biscuits.
  • 4. Check your potatoes and make sure they are tender and put them over the sausage. Then Beat 3 eggs and pour it over the potatoes.
  • 5. Add a layer of Cheese and then lay the remaining biscuits on top of the casserole. Pour 1/2 of the gravy mixture all over the casserole.
  • 6. Bake at 400 degrees for 35-45 minutes. Make sure that the eggs have cooked and are not runny. Do not mistake the melted cheese & gravy for runny eggs.
  • 7. Serve on a bed of canned spinach that is warm.
