I like (some) quiche, but I do NOT like a process that uses more cooking utensils than necessary, so I don’t sauté onion in one pan and then bake the quiche in a baking dish, oh no! Not me!
So, tonight…
1/2 pound “hot” pork sausage, crumbled and fried
2 small yellow scourge onions, chopped and fried up with the sausage
About one-two medium potatoes’ worth of shredded potatoes for hash browns (I used some reconstituted from dried)–for the crust
About a cup of frozen green peas
2 cups of shredded cheese–I used the jack/cheddar mix I had on hand
8 eggs, whisked together with about 1/4 cup of half n half
After browning the sausage and sautéing the onions together, they were removed to a bowl. The shredded potatoes were pressed into the sides of the 10″ skillet the sausage/onion mix had cooked in, sausage and onion, peas and then cheese added in that order. Pour in egg mixture egg mixture.
Oven at 350F for about 45-50 minutes. Let it cool a tad, cut and eat. Yum.
BTW, if you don’t have oven-capable skillets, well tough. *heh* I couldn’t (well, wouldn’t want to) cook in a kitchen that had cookware (skillets, pans) that were incapable of being used in the oven as well as on the stove top. Seems a waste of $$ to purchase such things, ya know. Heck, a second-hand cast iron skillet from Salvation Army or whatnot beats the snot out of a crappy pan bought new for more.
