Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 8 large eggs
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1½ cups full-fat shredded cheese cheddar, mozzarella, or provolone
  • 1 lb Italian sausage pork or chicken, sugar-free
  • ½ cup red bell pepper diced
  • ½ cup green bell pepper diced
Seasonings
  • ½ teaspoon salt adjust to taste
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter for greasing

Equipment

  • Oven
  • 9-inch round baking dish or pie dish
  • Large mixing bowl
  • Whisk
  • Skillet

Method
 

  1. Step 1: Preheat the Oven
  2. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Lightly grease a 9-inch baking dish with olive oil or butter to prevent sticking.
  3. Step 2: Cook the Sausage
  4. Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the Italian sausage and cook until browned and fully cooked, breaking it into small pieces. Drain excess grease if needed and set aside.
  5. Step 3: Sauté the Peppers
  6. In the same skillet, lightly sauté the diced red and green bell peppers for 2–3 minutes until slightly softened but still vibrant. Remove from heat.
  7. Step 4: Prepare the Egg Mixture
  8. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs and heavy cream until smooth. Add salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Mix well.
  9. Step 5: Assemble the Quiche
  10. Spread the cooked sausage evenly in the greased baking dish. Add the sautéed bell peppers, then sprinkle shredded cheese over the top.
  11. Step 6: Add Egg Mixture
  12. Slowly pour the egg mixture over the filling, ensuring everything is evenly covered.
  13. Step 7: Bake
  14. Place the dish in the oven and bake for 40–45 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is lightly golden.
  15. Step 8: Rest and Slice
  16. Remove from the oven and let the quiche rest for 10 minutes before slicing. This helps it firm up for clean cuts.
