Sausage Brie Quiche

Sausage Brie Quiche 1

No matter what it is, I LOVE breakfast. I LOVE LOVE breakfast.

Okay, so there’s a couple breakfast places that I frequent and I treat myself to their quiche because I love crust, or anything that has carbs in it for that matter… AND I love breakfast.

Lately, I’ve been craving a good quiche and figured I would make my own for dinner instead. Who says you can’t have quiche for dinner? You can and you should! Boy oh boy oh boy, this is probably my favorite quiche to date. It is soooo tasty my mouth longs for this delicious treat. Anything homemade is well worth the time spent making it.

By the way, the difference between a quiche and a frittata is the crust. It all lies within the crust and though I enjoy myself a good fritatta, I will choose a quiche over a frittata any day simply because of the crust. So why do people call it a “crustless quiche,” I’m not sure to be honest, maybe they want it to sound more appealing than a frittata while making it more complicated for everyone else. Who knows.

Enough said, I think you get the picture and my deep desire for a good crust and good breakfast.

Ingredients:

  • 12 Eggs
  • 3/4 cup half and half
  • 1 tbsp parsley
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp paprika
  • 1 1/2 tsp garlic salt
  • 1/2 cup tomatoes, chopped
  • 1/2 Brie Cheese, chopped
  • 1/2 shredded cheese
  • 8 breakfast sausages, cooked and sliced
  • Pie Crust (grandma’s pie crust is the best, I simply half the recipe)

Make crust and lay in the bottom of a greased pie plate. Set aside

Meanwhile, in a large bowl combine eggs and half & half. Whisk together for about 1 minute. Add in parsley, salt, paprika and garlic salt. Stir well.

Add in chopped tomatoes, brie and cheese.

Combine sausage and give it a good stir. Poor over crust.

Bake at 375 degrees for 25-30 minutes or until the middle does not wiggle. :)

I enjoy making a quick “fancy” breakfast to send with my husband to work to make it seem like he’s eating a decadent meal while he drinks his coffee and sits at his desk. :) This quick meal is easy and great to send throughout the week with one preparation. This meal is also great for breakfast for dinner!

Ingredients:

  • 10 eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • ¼ cup green onions, chopped
  • ¾ cup sliced mushrooms
  • ½ ham, diced
  • ½ cup grated cheese
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic salt
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • ½ tsp cumin

In a mixing bowl combine eggs and milk. Whisk well!

I made these this morning as my sister and niece were coming over to visit and she always knows she can expect something to eat with her coffee.

So, since I had these on hand and they would leave leftovers for my husband to take to work tomorrow I happily made these real quick while Cooper was still asleep.

Ingredients:

  • 12 eggs
  • ¾ cup milk
  • 1 tsp garlic salt
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 tsp pepper
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 1 cup chopped turkey
  • 1 cup sliced mushrooms

In a large bowl add 12 eggs.
image

Add milk and begin whisking really well. (1-2 minutes)

image

Add salt, pepper and garlic salt.

image

Add shredded cheese.

image

Spoon a spoonful full of egg mixture to muffin cups filling 1/4 full.

image

Top with mushrooms and turkey.

image

Top muffins with remaining egg mixture.

image

Bake at 375 degrees for 15-20 minutes.

Serve warm and store in the fridge.

They are delicious and full of flavor. My niece loved them and ate 2 herself. (She’s 2 years old) My sister and I on the other hand ate more than I would like to share. :) BUT there are a couple left for my husband for tomorrows breakfast. ;)

Egg Tarts

Oh my goodness this dinner was incredible. I absolutely loved it and the flavors were perfect. You can make this for breakfast, brunch, lunch and dinner. I am trying to add more fruits and veggies to our diet and this really helped with the vegetables.

We actually were packing a picnic and going to the park tonight. We have been doing the movies in the park here locally for summer. Every Thursday and Fridays they have a movie in the park. It’s been pretty fun and good quality time together as a family. We usually go around 6:30 and let Cooper play and eat dinner. The movie usually starts around 8:45 (dusk) and depending on Cooper’s mood we stay the whole time or leave a little early. The adventure of Cooper playing in the grass with his toys is so fun for him and he absolutely loves to people watch. The other night we saw the third Men in Black movie. It was definitely fun especially because I have been giving Cooper his second nap a lot later so he is rested when we head out. We were able to stay til 10:30 that night. It was great! This week however we were headed to the park and not for a movie. The movies have ended for summer which is a bummer because it has been really nice out still and a fun time as a family.

We were walking to the Pool on our way to the park to check on pool maintenance. We have a neighborhood pool that we share with 10 families. Apparently this week has been our week to clean, yet we didn’t find out until Wednesday as this is our first time on maintenance. Unfortunately we found out on our walk down on Wednesday that our pool key is different from the pump house key and yet we are put off another day to clean. We feel as if we are becoming “those” neighbors…we don’t want to get there yet…at least not so early. :) Now today is Friday and we must clean since it’s been five days. Anyway, after eating on the lawn by the pool we took a walk to the park and went down to the river. Cooper has never been to the river before and it was so sweet to see his little eyes and brain stimulated by such newness.

It was a fun night full of adventure as we headed out for the river. We are trying to enjoy as much of summer as possible.

Tonight’s Menu: Egg Tarts

Pastry Tart:

  • 1-1 ½ cup flour
  • ½ cup cold butter
  • 1 egg yoke
  • 2 tbsp cold water
  • 1 tsp salt

In a food processor add flour and cold butter and mix until it becomes crumbly. Add egg yoke, water and salt. Mix well. It will be very sticky. Fold onto a floured surface and add more flour as you knead with your hands. Add enough flour that the pastry can be rolled out with rolling pin. In four large ramekins divide the dough and fold up the sides of the ramekins and place in the fridge for 20 minutes.

Filling:

  • EVOO
  • 4 slices of Bacon
  • 1 medium tomato chopped
  • ½ cup onion chopped
  • 4 large mushrooms
  • Spinach
  • 6 eggs
  • 2 tbsp milk
  • Mozzarella cheese (optional)

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a large skillet add evoo, bacon, onion and mushrooms. Once cooked add tomatoes and spinach, heat through. Turn off heat and crack all 6 eggs directly into the skillet along with 2 tbsp milk. Mix well and spoon into ramekins. Sprinkle with cheese.

Place the four ramekins on a baking sheet and bake 30 minutes or until eggs are cooked and pastry has browned.
