Cheesy quiche with smoked sausage and sweet peppers on a cauliflower crust.
Ingredients:
  • 1 medium head cauliflower, cored and cut into florets
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 5 eggs, divided
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
  • 1 tablespoon whole wheat panko bread crumbs
  • 2 tablespoons snipped fresh chives
  • 1 medium sweet red pepper, chopped
  • 0.5 (14 ounce) package Hillshire Farm® Smoked Sausage, bias-sliced 1/2-inch thick
  • 0.5 cup chopped onion
  • 0.25 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon Chives
Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to a toasty 375 degrees F, then generously grease a 9-inch deep-dish pie plate and set it aside.
  • In batches, add cauliflower to a food processor and pulse until crumbly, achieving a rice-like texture.
  • In a large skillet over medium-high heat, sauté cauliflower in 1 tablespoon of oil, stirring occasionally, until tender and starting to brown, about 4 minutes.
  • Mix together the cauliflower, 1 egg, 1/2 cup cheese, panko, and 2 tablespoons chives in a bowl. Press the mixture onto the bottom and up the sides of the pie plate.
  • In the same skillet over medium heat, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil. Cook sweet pepper for 2 minutes until it starts to soften. Then, add sausage and onion. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until onion softens and sausage starts browning. Fill cauliflower crust with the cooked sausage mixture and remaining 1/2 cup cheese.
  • Whisk the 4 remaining eggs with whipping cream and flour in a medium bowl, then pour the mixture over the sausage in the crust.
  • Bake without cover for 30 to 40 minutes until a knife inserted near center comes out clean. Allow it to rest on a wire rack for 10 minutes before serving. Garnish with extra chives, if preferred.
