At last, a quiche a real-man would eat proudly! Baked in a good ol' fashion iron skillet is a combination of fresh, browed sausage, dijon mustard, Swiss cheese, and eggs topped with artichoke hearts and tasty slivers of bell peppers! Hearty enough for real men and elegant enough to be invited to your next party!
Skillet Quiche
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350˚F degrees.
- Bring 1 sheet of refrigerator pie dough to room temp. Roll out on lightly floured surface and fit into a well-seasoned iron skillet. Turn any excess dough to the inside of the skillet or trim away.
- Smear the 1 tsp mustard over the bottom of the pie dough and then sprinkle with ¼ cup of the Swiss cheese.
- Evenly spread the sausage crumbles over top of cheese.
- Whisk together the eggs, cream, salt, pepper, and 1 cup of the Swiss cheese until well mixed.
- Pour egg mixture over the sausage. Arrange artichoke hearts on top.
- Place ½ of the bell pepper slivers decoratively over top of artichokes. Sprinkle final ¼ cup Swiss cheese over all and finish with remaining slivers.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes or until the quiche is puffy and golden brown and the eggs are set.
Notes
You can also use a pre-formed refrigerator pie crust in an aluminum pan just as well, but making this quiche in the iron skillet contributed to it having a wonderfully crispy crust.
Although this recipe has no fancy ingredients the finished quiche is very elegant and would be a great dish to make for a party of special dinner or brunch. A glass of champagne or sparkling grape juice would turn this into a very special meal.
To Serve
Let quiche sit for a few minutes before cutting into wedges.
