Mississippi Sin Quiche Recipe

A savory quiche featuring spicy sausage, cream cheese, and a blend of cheeses, baked in a flaky crust for a flavorful twist on a classic dish. Perfect for brunch!

Ingredients

• 1 c of diced ham
• 2 ounces of cream cheese
• 1/2 c of shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 chopped green onion
• 1/4 teaspoon of hot sauce
• 1/2 teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce
• 3 tablespoons of sour cream
• 1 c of heavy cream
• 3 eggs
• 1 9 inch deep dish pie crust

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat the Oven
   To kick things off, set your oven to a cozy 350ºF. This will give you that perfect baking environment, ensuring your quiche turns out just right.

2. Step 2: Cook the Ham
   Warm up a skillet over medium heat and toss in the diced ham. Let it sizzle for about 3 to 5 minutes—this not only enhances the flavor but also helps get rid of any extra moisture. Once done, set it aside to cool a bit.

3. Step 3: Create the Filling
   In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked ham with the cream cheese, hot sauce, and Worcestershire sauce. Use a spoon or spatula to mix until everything is well blended and you have a creamy, flavorful mixture.

4. Step 4: Assemble the Quiche Base
   Spread your ham mixture across the bottom of your pie crust. Make sure it’s evenly distributed so every bite is packed with flavor!

5. Step 5: Add Cheese and Onions
   Over the ham mixture, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese and follow it up with the chopped green onion. This duo adds a delightful cheesy goodness and a hint of freshness.

6. Step 6: Prepare Egg Mixture
   Grab a separate bowl and whisk together the eggs, sour cream, and heavy cream. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and uniform—this will be the custardy base for your quiche.

7. Step 7: Pour and Bake
   Gently pour the egg mixture over the layered ingredients in the pie crust. Try to cover everything evenly. Pop the quiche into your preheated oven and let it bake for about 60 minutes. You’ll know it’s ready when the center is set and the top has turned a lovely golden hue.

8. Step 8: Cool and Serve
   Once baked, remove the quiche from the oven and let it cool slightly. This helps the filling set further, making it easier to slice. Serve warm, and enjoy the creamy, savory delight!

Notes

Sometimes, quiche can be a bit tricky, but fear not—it's all part of the fun! One oopsie is forgetting to cook the ham. Raw ham leaves extra moisture, turning your quiche into a soggy mess. So, give it a quick sauté to keep everything nice and firm.

Another classic hiccup is overfilling the crust. It might seem tempting to squeeze every last drop of the egg mix in, but this can lead to a spillover.

Lastly, the timing! Resist the urge to check too early—patience is key! Keep these in mind, and your quiche will be a glorious success.
