Sausage & Zucchini Quiche Recipe

Bonjour lecteurs! Looking for a new recipe that will be a hit à table now that the weather is getting nice and warm? Nothing says more summer dinner than a delicious Sausage & Zucchini Quiche. My mum used to cook it all the time, and I have very fond memories of us making it together as a little girl. I rarement share recipes, but I recently made one and I thought it was a must, so voilà my Frenchie twist on the Sausage & Zucchini Quiche.

Ingredients:

• a pie crust, pre-baked

• 225 g of sausages, I like using Richmond Chicken Sausages

• 1 medium zucchini, thinly sliced

• 1 small onion, finely chopped

• 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Swiss, or Gruyère recommended)

• 4 large eggs

• 1 cup half-and-half or whole milk

• Salt and pepper, to taste, but you can also add some spices for extra taste like bay leaves black pepper

• 1 tbsp olive oil

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 190 degrees

2. Prepare the filling:

   • Cut the onion finely and put it to melt for 5 minutes in a little olive oil, add the sausages

   • Add the zucchini cut into slices. Put a pinch of thyme and a little salt

   • Cook until just tender, about 3–5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

3. Assemble the quiche:

   • In a bowl, whisk together eggs, half-and-half, salt, and pepper.

   • Spread the sausage-zucchini mixture evenly over the pre-baked crust.

   • Pour the egg mixture on top, ensuring everything is well distributed.

   • Sprinkle cheese over the mixture.

4. Bake:

   • Place the quiche on a baking sheet and bake for 35–40 minutes, or until le centre is set and the top is golden brown.

   • Let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

Serving Suggestion:

Serve warm or at room temperature with a side of fresh salade et voilà!  If any leftovers, it’s also délicieux cold so you can always add one or 2 slices in their packed lunch the day after.

Now I am far from being a grand chef like Alain Ducasse or Raymond Blanc, but I am sure it will be a succés with your tribe!
