New Year (Or any day) Sausage and Cheese Quiche

Every New Year's morning,  I like to make something special for breakfast.  (aka...not low in calorie... but delicious!)  This year,  I baked a quiche.  (It will be reheated tomorrow morning)  When I say this is not low cal.,  I mean it..  I used some left over heavy cream instead of my usual whole milk.  Unfortunately,  I gained weight during Christmas, so I am on a diet, and I won't be able to eat much.  I will however, take great joy in seeing my husband and kids dig in!  


Pie Crust

2 cups flour
2/3 cup Crisco
6 - 7 tablespoons ice water

• Mix the flour and Crisco until pea size
• Add water and mix
• Flatten out dough.  Add to the bottom and sides of pie plate.  (do not roll dough)
• Cook dough for 8 - 10 minutes on bottom shelf at 400 degrees, remove from oven

*You may have left over dough. I don't see why you can't freeze it for future use.

Quiche

3 large eggs

4 oz bulk sausage broken into pieces and cooked on the stove

1 1/2 cups milk, or cream

Cheddar cheese to top

salt

nutmeg

• Mix together eggs, milk or cream. salt, pepper to taste.  Add a dash of nutmeg
