- 2 tablespoons chopped green onions
Instructions
Step 1: Cook the Sausage

- Professional tip: Add a dash of paprika or chili flakes while cooking if you like your quiche bold.
Step 2: Whisk the Custard
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, pepper, and those subtle seasonings garlic, onion powder, and nutmeg.
Step 3: Assemble the Magic
- Sprinkle half the cheese on the bottom of the crust. Add the sausage evenly. Pour the egg mixture on top. Finish with the remaining cheese and a sprinkle of green onions.
- Tip: If you want it picture-perfect, press a few sausage pieces and cheese bits slightly on top before baking.
