Southern Egg Pie (Quiche)
Ingredients Required
-
1 tablespoon butter
-
½ onion, chopped
-
1 (12 ounce) package spicy ground pork sausage
-
4 eggs
-
½ cup Ranch-style salad dressing
-
½ cup milk
-
1 (8 ounce) package Cheddar cheese, shredded
-
1 dash hot pepper sauce (Optional)
-
salt and pepper to taste
-
1 pinch white sugar
-
1 (9 inch) unbaked deep dish pie crust
Cooking Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
-
In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add the onions and sauté until softened. Add the sausage and cook until evenly browned. Drain, crumble the sausage, and set aside.
-
In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, Ranch dressing, and milk. Stir in the shredded cheese and season with hot sauce, salt, pepper, and sugar.
-
Spread the sausage mixture evenly in the bottom of the pie crust. Pour the egg mixture on top, gently shaking the pan to settle the contents and remove any air pockets.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes. Then reduce the temperature to 350°F (175°C) and bake for another 45-50 minutes, or until the filling is puffed and golden brown. Remove from the oven, prick the top with a knife, and let cool for 10 minutes before serving.
