Spinach Quiche is a dish that is versatile and can be eaten for breakfast, brunch or dinner. It is full of eggs, spinach, sausage and cheese all filled in a delicious pie crust.
Unroll the pie crust and use a rolling pin to roll out the crust slightly, until it can reach slightly over the edges of a 9 inch deep dish pie pan.
Pinch the edges of the crust together and then poke the crust multiple times, all over the crust. Be sure to poke the edge of the crust as well so that the crust doesn’t shrink in the oven.
Line the crust with aluminum foil or parchment paper. Then, fill with dried beans or pie weights.
Bake for 10-12 minutes or until a light golden brown and then remove from the oven and set aside to cool.
Reduce the heat of the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
As the crust cooks, cook the pork sausage in a large skillet over medium heat until cooked through, 5-7 minutes. Be sure to stir often and crumble the sausage as it is cooking.
Once the sausage is cooked, drain off the oil and then add in the spinach and minced garlic.
Cook the mixture for an additional 3-4 minutes or until the spinach has wilted and the garlic is fragrant.
Remove the skillet from the heat and allow it to cool at the side for now.
In a medium sized mixing bowl use a stand or hand mixer to whisk together the sour cream and half and half.
Add in the eggs and black pepper and beat until combined and slightly frothy.
Now that the sausage mixture has had a little time to cool, mix the feta and mozzarella cheeses into it and then layer it into the bottom of the prepared pie crust.
Only add in enough mixture to go about ¾ of the way up the pie crust. If you have extra you can store it for later use or discard it.
Gently pour the egg mixture all over the sausage mixture until it reaches the rim of the crust. If you have extra egg mixture you can discard it or use it for another recipe.
Bake the quiche for 50-65 minutes or until set in the middle and a thermometer put in the middle reads at least 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
Allow the quiche to cool for at least 10 minutes before cutting and serving.
