SALSA SAUSAGE QUICHE
1 pound pork sausage
8 ounces cheddar cheese, shredded
3 eggs
1 cup salsa *
Crumble and brown the sausage; drain the grease if desired. Place the sausage in a greased 10-inch pie plate. Mix in half of the cheese. Beat the eggs and salsa; pour over the sausage and cheese and spread it evenly. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top. Bake at 350ยบ 30 minutes or until the quiche is firm in the center. Let stand 10 minutes before serving otherwise the quiche will be too soft to remove from the pan.
Makes 6-8 servings
* I used Walmart's Great Value All Natural Hot Chunky Salsa (1 carb per tablespoon).

This recipe was originally posted HERE at Linda's Low Carb Menus & Recipes. I'm not sure if it made much difference, but I added one more egg when I made this a few days ago. This quiche has a somewhat loose consistency anyway so extra eggs might help firm it up. I don't always have cream on hand, but I always have salsa, so it's nice to have a quiche recipe that doesn't require cream and one that only has four ingredients.
Linda, amazing site as always. I have been a follower of yours since way back in the "friends" days. Keep calm and Linda on!
