Quiche--what I am doing wrong???

[Rare Feathers Farm]

My exact recipe, you will need:

Two frozen (unbaked) deep dish pie crusts
About 14 fresh eggs
a few cups of heavy cream
cooked (browned) ground sausage
2 cans of drained green chiles
a few cups of your favorite cheese (I have used both sharp cheddar & pepper jack)

Take out the pie crusts & place them side by side on a cookie sheet to thaw (this takes about 40 minutes)

Pre heat the oven to 350

Brown the ground sausage==I use either plain or maple flavored...sage is also good but I wasn't able to find it last time

Crack the eggs & put them in a large mixing bowl

Pour in a few cups of the heavy cream

Mix well, but don't whip the eggs & cream together

Once the sausage is browned, drain it & dump it into the bottoms of the pie crusts

Open & drain the chilies, put those into the egg mixture

Put the shredded cheese into he egg mixture

Pour the egg mixture into each crust, covering the sausage--make sure you get the chiles & cheese out, as it tends to settle towards the bottom

Bake @ 350 for approx. 45 minutes. It is done when the tops are golden brown but the center is still jiggly. Overcooking is not good--and tends to rubberize it.

Quiche is one of my favorites, for breakfast, lunch or dinner. I usually make mine without the crust, as no one in the family likes it. We usually make a spinach, baby portobellas, bacon and cheese. I use the heavy whipping cream instead of milk too. I just think the texture is better. And, as we like to eat so much, I make mine in a 9x13 pan. Thinking I might just need to make that for dinner!

I make quiche a lot around here. One of our favorites is Bacon and Onion Quiche.....

6-7 large eggs
1/2 c heavy cream
1 package of bacon, cooked and crumbled
1 large onion, cooked until tender in the bacon grease
1 cup grated cheddar cheese
garlic powder, salt, and pepper to to taste

Pour into unbaked pie shell, bake at 300 for 1 hr, or until knife inserted in middle comes out clean
