Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F.

- In a mixing bowl, beat eggs and then stir in shredded Cheddar cheese.
- Add the cooked sausage mixture to the egg and cheese mixture and combine.

Tips & Substitutions
For a flavor twist, consider using spicy sausage or adding some diced jalapeños for heat. If you're out of Cheddar, any melting cheese like Monterey Jack or mozzarella will work well. You can also replace the green bell pepper with spinach or mushrooms for a different texture and taste. For a shortcut, use pre-cooked sausage to save time.

This quiche makes a hearty breakfast or brunch dish and pairs beautifully with a fresh fruit salad or a light green salad.
