22 Dec Nana’s Sausage, Pepper, and Onion Breakfast Quiche
It is a tradition with my family that every year we wake up on Christmas morning and enjoy a slice of my Nana’s breakfast quiche. We’ve had a quiche every year for as long as I can remember. My Nana isn’t able to cook anymore but I am determined to keep the tradition going!
The quiche itself is really simple and is made from sausage, pepper, onion, egg, and cream. When I gave it a test run this year, I was instantly reminded of childhood as soon as the aroma from the oven filled the air as it baked.
As soon as I pulled the quiche from the oven, my eyes lit up at the sight of the golden brown crust – I felt like a real live heart eyed emoji. It was hard to contain myself and refrain from digging in but I promised I’d bring it to a brunch party that day. I let it cool, packed it up in my pyrex portable pie dish and headed to see friends. Everyone LOVED it. I wasn’t surprised because it is gobbled down every single year at Christmas without even a crumb to spare. To be honest, we usually make two quiches just to make sure there is enough.

Posted at 16:51h, 06 MarchThere’s no mention here about preheating the oven and baking temperature. For what temperature should we preheat the oven? That’s an important part of the recipe.

Posted at 17:06h, 05 FebruaryExactly the recipe I was looking for. Are the peppers and onions crunchy? Should they be sautéed first?

Posted at 19:40h, 05 FebruaryHope you love it! It’s so special to my family <3 you don’t have to sautée them, they will cook in the oven! They have a little bite to them but they’re not super crunchy, they cook down in the oven.
