Andouille Sausage Quiche
- 2 tsp olive oil
- 1 cup andouille sausage - chopped to 1/4" pieces
- 1/2 small yellow onion - finely diced
- 1 cup frozen chopped collard greens or spinach (measured while frozen) - thawed, drained and squeezed to remove moisture
- 1/2 - 1 teaspoon blackened season (your fave or see my attached recipe)
- 6 large eggs
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded swiss cheese
- 1 frozen pie crust - thawed (or rolled refrigerated crust)
- Preheat oven to 350F.
- If you are using a frozen pie shell set out to thaw.
- If you are using refrigerated, grease a 9" deep dish pie plate, unroll crust and gently press into plate to fit.
- Set aside.
- Heat a medium skillet over medium high heat.
- When hot, add olive oil and chopped andouille sausage.
- Saute until sausage begins to Brown and crisp slightly, stirring occasionally.
- Reduce heat to medium, add onion and continue to saute until translucent, stirring occasionally.
- About 10 minutes total.
- Add collards/spinach to pan, cooking to evaporate any remaining moisture, stirring frequently, only about 2 minutes more.
- Sprinkle desired amount of blackened seasoning over mixture, stir to coat completely, turn off heat and set aside to cool.
- In a large bowl whisk together eggs and heavy cream until well blended, adding salt and pepper if desired (I actually don't feel the need in this dish).
- Gently stir in shredded cheeses and then cooled sausage mixture to fully incorporate.
- Pour filling into prepared pie crust, distributing solids evenly.
- Pop in the oven and bake 30 - 40 minutes, or until center is just set.
- Mine took 35 min.
- When done, remove from oven, let rest 10 minutes before slicing.
- Serve with a side salad or home fries and enjoy.
- NOTE: From the time you measure your collards or spinach to the time they are cooked down in the mix they will reduce drastically.
- No worries, it's enough for what we need.
