Breakfast is one of those meals you can eat for, well, breakfast but also for lunch, dinner, brunch, midnight snack, 3 am, preworkout munchies, late night munchies, pretty much anytime. That reminds me.... oh yes, bagel bites, pizza on a bagel you can have a bagel anytime....
Anywho, we've made this tasty pie for almost any meal and the wonderful thing about it is between the 2 of us, there are usually a few slices leftover for the next day. This is also a dish you can bake on Sunday night, pre-slice, and heat up throughout the week to have an actual breakfast before you head out the door for work or school.
Ingredients:
- 1 gluten free crust, either a pre-shaped one or the dough (Whole Foods is a good store and most also carry the Pillsbury GF pastry/pie dough by the cinna-rolls in the fridge section)
- 1 roll of Jenni-O breakfast turkey sausage (or any other sausage, breakfast meat of you're liking)
- 1/2 onion, diced
- 1 cup baby spinach, roughly chopped
- 4-6 basil leaves, finely chopped
- 1-3 basil leaves (for garnish)
- 1/2 c. to 1 c. dairy free cheddar cheese
- 6 eggs or 1.5 c. liquid eggs
- 1 tomato, sliced
Directions:
1) Prepare the GF crust, either rolling it out onto a pie dish or just removing it from the freezer and defrosting. You can also mix your own pie dough from any GF pie crust recipe.
2) With a fork, poke the bottom of the crust about 10 times
3) Bake the crust per the crust instructions for about 10 minutes
4) While the crust is baking...in a non-stick saucepan, over medium heat, saute the onion and sausage until the sausage is cooked through.
5) Pull the crust out of the oven. Heat oven to 350F if not already at this temperature.
6) Add the sausage and onion into the crust.
7) Add the baby spinach, dairy free cheese, and 1/2 of the chopped basil to the crust
8) Pour the eggs over the mixture into the crust.
9) Arrange the sliced tomato over the crust (like pepperoni on a pizza) and sprinkle the remainder of the basil over the eggs and tomato.
10) Place the egg pie into the oven at 350F and bake for 45 minutes.
11) Once the quiche is done, garnish with a few basil leaves in the center for presentation ;-) OR grab fork and eat directly out of pie tin....
