It's 11:00 a.m.--Brunch Anyone??

This recipe would make a great weekend brunch, but honestly, I use it more for a quick and simple weeknight supper. Add some fresh fruit and some store bought hashbrowns and it makes a full meal.

Sausage Quiche

1 deep dish pie shell (from frozen food section)

1 lb ground sausage

3 eggs

2/3 cup milk

1 tsp salt

dash pepper

2 cups cheddar- divided

Bake pie shell @ 400º for 3 minutes. Remove and prick w/ fork. Bake 5 minutes more. Let cool and cover w/ clean kitchen towel. (Can do the night before and leave sitting on counter.)

Brown sausage and drain fat. Combine eggs, milk, salt and pepper. Beat well. Stir in sausage. Sprinkle 3/4 cup cheese on bottom of pie shell. Top w/ egg mixture and remaining cheese. Bake on a cookie sheet @ 375º for 50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
