Country Quiche Recipe
The first time I had quiche was in a quaint little café in Nashville. I loved it, and thought it was really fancy. You know how they say “Real men don’t eat quiche”? Well, I don’t even know who “they” are, but I’ll bet you any real man would eat this quiche. It’s full of all things good and very hearty. I turned Garth loose on this recipe and he suggested the tortellini. It made it even better.

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- In a large skillet, cook the sausage until done, then drain off the excess fat and set aside.
- Whisk the eggs, baking powder, and tomatoes together. Add the cooked sausage and the cheese to the egg mixture and stir together with a large spoon. Add salt and pepper to taste. Divide the mixture in half and pour into the unbaked pie shells. Bake for 30 minutes, or until the filling is set.
Recipe Notes
Set the frozen pie shells out to thaw a bit while you’re preparing the quiche.
FROM GARTH: I boil some cheese tortellini and add it into the quiche before baking.
