SPANISH-STYLE SAUSAGE QUICHE
1 pound regular or hot pork sausage
1 small onion, chopped
1 small green pepper, diced
1 medium tomato, diced
8 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
6 eggs
1/2 teaspoon salt
Dash pepper
1/2 cup heavy cream
In a large skillet, brown the sausage with the onion. When the sausage is cooked through, drain off the grease. Add the green pepper and tomato. Cook over medium-high heat until the peppers are tender-crisp and some of the juice from the tomato has cooked off. Drain the sausage and vegetables on a paper towel-lined plate then arrange in the bottom of a greased 10-inch pie plate. Top with the cheese.
Whisk the eggs, salt and pepper, then whisk in the cream. Evenly pour the egg mixture over the sausage mixture and cheese. Bake at 350ยบ for 30-35 minutes until knife inserted in center comes out clean and the top is slightly puffed. Let stand about 10 minutes before cutting.

This recipe was originally posted HERE at Linda's Low Carb Menus & Recipes. The tomatoes are an unexpected ingredient but they really add a nice flavor to the quiche. Plus, it doesn't matter if you use under ripe out-of-season tomatoes for this.
