Bangers and Mash Quiche

We hosted a St. Patrick's Day party at our house that also coincided with Pi day so what would be better for brunch than a "bangers and mash" quiche in a pie? I found this recipe for a roasted potatoes and sausage quiche (modified slightly) that was delicious! I forgot to take a picture when it was still in full pie form but got a few afterwards.

Bangers and Mash Quiche

Ingredients:

• Pie crust (I bought pre-made refrigerated crust)
• 1 bag of frozen potatoes and green beans mix
• 1/2 pound of breakfast or Italian sausage
• 1/2 cup of mushrooms (optional)
• 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese
• 3 eggs
• 1/2 cup of half and half
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp pepper

Directions:

1. Heat oven to 425 degrees and place pre-made refrigerated crust in oven for 8 - 10 minutes until it begins to brown. 
2. Brown and crumble sausage. If making it with mushrooms, add them now.
3. Heat frozen potatoes and beans according to package directions (microwave 5 1/2 minutes).
4. Remove pie crust, push down any edges that bubble up with fingers or spoon. Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees. 
5. In medium bowl, whisk eggs, half and half, salt, and pepper together until well blended. 
6. Once meat is cooked, drain grease and add cooked potatoes and beans. Mix together. 
7. Place the meat, potatoes, and beans mixture into the pie crust. 
8. Sprinkle with cheese.
9. Pour egg mixture over the top.
10. Bake 40 - 45 minutes until eggs are set.
