Cheesy Sausage Quiche
Ingredients
  • 2 (9 inch) refrigerated pie crusts
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 stalks celery, finely diced
  • 1 onion, finely diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 pound bulk plain pork sausage
  • 1/2 tablespoon dried sage
  • 1 (8 ounce) container cottage cheese
  • 8 eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon dried tarragon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 (8 ounce) package shredded Cheddar-Monterey Jack cheese blend
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to the optimal temperature of 375 degrees Fahrenheit (or 190 degrees Celsius).
2
Unroll each pie crust and position them in two 9-inch round baking dishes.
3
Theat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sauté sliced celery, chopped onion, and minced garlic in the hot oil for 1 to 2 minutes. Introduce cooked sausage into the skillet, breaking it apart as you go and browning it until no longer pink; sprinkle dried sage over the mixture to enhance flavor, then continue cooking for an additional 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from heat.
4
Mix cooked sausage with cottage cheese in a bowl, blending the ingredients until well combined.
5
Distribute the meat mixture evenly between the two pie crusts.
6
In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, dried tarragon, salt, and pepper until smooth. Pour the egg mixture over the meat mixture in each pie crust.
7
Cover the top of each pie with shredded Cheddar-Jack cheese.
8
Bake, uncovered, in the preheated oven on the middle rack until the tops are puffed and golden brown, approximately 40 minutes.
9
Remove from the oven and allow it to stand for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing.
