Ingredients
- 1 frozen pie crust
- 4-6 oz. andouille sausage diced
- ¼ lbs. fresh shrimp diced
- ½ green pepper diced
- ½ onion diced
- 1 cup cheddar cheese
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tbsp. milk
- ¼ tsp. black pepper
- 1 ½ tsp. Cajun seasoning
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line the crust with parchment paper, fill with pie weights (or beans, rice, etc. - something heavy), and bake the crust for 20 minutes. Once the pie crust is done, remove it and set it aside to cool.
- Heat a skillet over medium high heat and add the diced Andouille sausage. Cook until browned on all sides. Remove the sausage from the heat and set it aside.
- Whisk together the eggs, cream, milk and seasoning in a bowl and set aside.
- Sprinkle the cheese in the bottom of the pie crust and add the shrimp pieces, cooked sausage, onions and green peppers on top.
- Pour the egg mixture over the top. Bake for 45 minutes, or until fully set.
- Remove from the oven and let cool. Slice and service it slightly warmed.
Notes
- Any kind of smoked sausage can be substituted for the Andouille sausage.
- Cheddar cheese has the best flavor for this recipe, but any melt-able cheese can be substituted.
- Jiggle the quiche slightly to determine whether it is done. If it still jiggles, place it back in the oven for 3-5 minutes until fully set.
- If the crust starts to brown too much, wrap it loosely in foil to prevent it from burning.
- Any kind of smoked sausage can be substituted for the Andouille sausage.
