Ingredients
Scale
Crust and Meat
- 1 (9-inch) frozen deep-dish pie crust
- ½ pound sausage, cooked and crumbled
Cheeses
- ½ cup shredded Velveeta cheese (2 ounces)
- ¼ cup shredded Muenster cheese
Seasonings and Liquids
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- â…› teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup heavy cream or milk
- 3 tablespoons sour cream
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350ºF (175ºC) to ensure it reaches the correct temperature for baking the quiche evenly.
- Prepare the crust and filling base: Evenly spread the cooked and crumbled sausage over the bottom of the frozen deep-dish pie crust. Then sprinkle the shredded Velveeta and Muenster cheeses on top. Finish by sprinkling the onion powder and garlic powder evenly over the cheese layer.
- Make the egg mixture: In a bowl, whisk together Worcestershire sauce, eggs, heavy cream (or milk), and sour cream until fully combined and smooth. This mixture will create the custard that binds the quiche filling together.
- Assemble and bake: Pour the egg custard mixture over the sausage and cheese in the pie crust, distributing it evenly. Place the quiche onto the oven rack and bake for 1 hour, or until the custard is set and the top is lightly golden.
- Rest before serving: After baking, allow the quiche to rest for 5 to 10 minutes. This resting time helps the custard firm up and makes slicing easier, improving texture and flavor.
Notes
- Using a frozen deep-dish pie crust saves prep time but ensure it’s thawed slightly if needed to avoid cracking.
- You can substitute milk for heavy cream to reduce richness, but the texture will be slightly lighter.
- Adjust seasoning like Worcestershire sauce and spices to taste if you prefer more or less intensity.
- The quiche can be served warm or at room temperature, making it versatile for meals or gatherings.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator and reheat gently to preserve texture.
