Jalapeño Chicken Sausage, Mushroom, Smoked Black Pepper White Cheddar, and Tomato Potato-Crusted Quiche
This jalapeño chicken sausage, mushroom, smoked black pepper white cheddar, and tomato potato-crusted quiche recipe is FANTASTIC. I wanted to make a quick and easy dinner that would appeal to both my husband and me (my kids still won’t eat eggs–ugh). We loved the combination of flavors and textures of the ingredients and the nice kick from the sausage and cheese. We both really, really loved this quiche and thought it paired really well with a simple salad.

How to Make a Jalapeño Chicken Sausage, Mushroom, Smoked Black Pepper White Cheddar, and Tomato Potato-Crusted Quiche:
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Coat a pie dish with cooking spray.
Peel and shred the two potatoes onto 2 paper towels; add a few more paper towels to the top and press all the liquid out of the potatoes.
Smash the shredded potatoes all over the bottom and sides of the pie pan, pressing them firmly. Spray with cooking spray and season with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper to taste.
Bake in the oven for 10-12 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken sausage, mushrooms, and onion once the pan is hot. Cook, stirring frequently, for 5-6 minutes.
Spread the sausage mixture on the bottom of the quiche, add the cheese, spinach, and tomatoes.
Beat the eggs with the milk and season with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper. Pour the egg mixture over the meat and veggies.
Place in the oven and bake for 30-40 minutes or until a tester inserted in the center of the quiche comes out clean–don’t overcook.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before slicing. Enjoy.
