A Quiche To Build A Dream On


OK, so maybe this is not that grand, but it is a great way to enter the world of the quiche. It uses chicken sausage with apple and sharp cheddar cheese. Remember the old fashioned way of serving apple pie with cheese? Once you are used to how easy this dish is you can try all kinds of flavor mixtures.



This works for a breakfast, brunch, lunch or dinner. Dress it up or down. Just remember: It will puff-up in the oven! Allow it room or you will find yourself cleaning the broiler and top of oven.



Ingredients:
1 cup frozen tater tots
½ tsp onion powder
½ tsp sweet paprika
12 oz. pkg chicken sausage with apple, diced
½ small yellow onion chopped
6-8 eggs
½ cup milk evaporated milk
1 (8 ounce) package Cheddar cheese, shredded
1 tsp salt and ½ tsp white pepper (or to taste)
1 pinch white sugar

Directions:
Heat your oven to 350 degrees.
Lightly butter a square glass baking dish.
Arrange a single layer of tater tots in bottom.



Bake the tater tots for 20 minutes.
Use a spoon to mush them down to create a crust. Sprinkle with onion powder & paprika.


Bake for another 15 minutes.
While that is baking:


Finely chop the onion and dice the sausage, (slice them, then cut into fourths).


Heat skillet over medium heat and cook onions and sausage in oil until the onions are starting to turn transparent.
Let cool.



Spread the shredded cheese over the warm tot crust.


Next spread a layer of the sausage- onion mixture.


In a medium bowl whisk together the eggs and evaporated milk with salt, white pepper and sugar. Pour over the sausage mixture.


Shake lightly or tap the pan on the counter to remove air and to level contents.

Return to 350 degree oven for 45 to 55  minutes, or until the top is puffed way up and golden brown. Don't be alarmed, this rose up to about 5 inches high before removal from oven.


Let cool 10 minutes before serving.



Tomatoes make a nice side, here slave sliced a tomato and cut up ½ lbs of fresh asparagus, then sauteed them until soft. If you like a nice crusty bread goes well.
