Description

A savory Sausage and Ranch Quiche featuring a flaky deep dish pie crust filled with cooked breakfast sausage, creamy Ranch dressing, shredded cheddar cheese, and a rich egg custard. Perfect for a hearty breakfast, brunch, or casual dinner.

Ingredients

Crust

  • 1 (9-inch) frozen deep dish pie crust

Filling

  • 8 oz breakfast sausage
  • ½ cup bottled Ranch dressing
  • ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup heavy cream or milk
  • Dash black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350ºF (175ºC) to prepare for baking the quiche.
  2. Cook Sausage: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage until it is fully browned and no longer pink. Drain any excess fat from the skillet for a less greasy filling.
  3. Combine Sausage and Ranch: Once the sausage is cooked and drained, stir in the bottled Ranch dressing until well combined. Then, spoon and drop crumbled sausage mixture evenly into the bottom of the frozen pie crust.
  4. Add Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the sausage and Ranch mixture in the pie crust for added flavor and texture.
  5. Prepare Egg Mixture: In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, black pepper, and heavy cream or milk until smooth and fully blended to create the custard base.
  6. Assemble and Bake: Pour the egg custard mixture carefully over the sausage and cheese layers in the pie crust, ensuring an even distribution.
  7. Bake the Quiche: Place the assembled quiche on the center rack of the preheated oven and bake for 1 hour, or until the filling is fully set and slightly golden on top.
  8. Rest Before Serving: Remove the quiche from the oven and allow it to rest for 5 to 10 minutes to set properly before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • You can substitute milk with heavy cream for a richer custard or use a lower-fat milk for a lighter version.
  • For added flavor, try incorporating herbs like chives or parsley into the egg mixture.
  • Ensure the quiche is fully set by inserting a knife into the center; it should come out clean.
  • Allowing the quiche to rest after baking improves slicing and texture.
