Mother’s Day is just about a week away! Are you ready???

One of my Mom’s favorite dishes is Dave’s Country Style Quiche. It’s a perfect and easy breakfast or brunch for just about anyone to make. This meal is a great way to pamper your mom, whether you bring her breakfast in bed, or set the table with flowers. Dressed up or dressed down; it’s perfect by itself, or with a side of fresh fruit.

We love this dish not only for breakfast but for dinner also! If you already have plans or a tradition for breakfast, don’t forget about dinner after a fun day with Mom!

Country Style Quiche – For Breakfast, Lunch, or Dinner

Ingredients:
–  Ready to Bake Pie Crust box with 2 crusts
–  10 Eggs
–  3 Cups Half & Half
–  1/2 -1 lb. Country Style Breakfast Sausage (Sweet is also good)
–  2 Medium Potatoes (optional)
–  1 (4 oz) can of diced Ortega Chilies
–  2 Cups of Broccoli Crowns chopped
–  1 Cup of diced Purple Onion
–  1 Clove of Garlic diced or minced
–  1 Cup of diced Tomato
–  Salt and Pepper to taste
–  1/2 – 1 Teaspoon of Oregano
–  2 1/2 Cups of grated Cheese (Sharp or Colby Jack) (Save 1/2 Cup for the end)
–  Additional vegetables are optional such as Mushrooms, Asparagus, Red or   Orange Bell Pepper, or anything else you have on hand or you prefer!

Step One:
In a medium to large frying pan brown the sausage on medium low. Once the sausage is browned, place sausage in separate bowl for later use. Keep the drippings in frying pan. Meanwhile, cut up the veggies.

Step Two:
Place chopped garlic, onions, and broccoli into drippings in frying pan, and sauté until medium soft. Meanwhile, microwave 2 medium potatoes for 3 minutes. This is to soften them, but not cook them completely. Let potatoes cool slightly then cut into cubes.

Step Three:
Beat eggs in a large bowl (you will add other ingredients to this bowl later) then add half & half, salt and pepper, oregano, and beat again.

Step Four:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spray 9×13 baking dish with non stick baking spray (we prefer the olive oil spray). Line the baking dish with pie crusts, covering the bottom and sides.

Step Five:
Add sausage, potatoes, sautéed veggies, tomato, and 2 Cups of cheese to the eggs and mix well. Pour into baking dish.

Step Six:
After the oven is preheated put in baking dish uncovered, and bake for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 325 degrees and continue baking for 30 minutes. Check by inserting a knife into the center of the quiche. If knife doesn’t comes out clean continue baking for about 5 -10 minutes until the knife comes out clean. Then turn off oven, and top with remaining cheese. Let set until cheese is melted and Enjoy!

Great served with your favorite Salsa!
