I didn't put any of the hot stuff into it and it was still a tad spicy for us, probably the Italian sausage we used. I added a teaspoon of minced garlic in the meat and veggie while saut\u00e9ing them. Next time I'm going to use half the sausage, throw a couple more eggs into it and mix the cheese into the meat mixture cause I prefer it be somewhat blended into the dish instead of sitting on top of it.

Very good and I'll definitely make this again. I used an 8.5\"\/1qt. pie dish. I used finely chopped cooked nonbreakfast sausage links (Johnsonville), just enough to cover the bottom of this dish, about 1c. I left out the green pepper,?jalape?o, and parsley. I used dried chives in place of raw white onion. I used 1\/8t. dried basil in place of a lot of fresh basil. I didn't use a crust. Mine is a little overbaked at 37 minutes. I think it was finished at 28 minutes.<\/p>","CommentId":5,"DateRated":"01\/21\/2017 11:48","GUID":"2287588dd3b842bba24c0cedab8af2f4","MemberId":7300654,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"BakerTerri","SubmittedDate":"01\/21\/2017 11:48"},{"Comment":"","CommentId":6,"DateRated":"12\/26\/2016 12:06","GUID":"beefc1d0298e4e40bd6eccacb0ff1dd0","MemberId":7905288,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"habenaroman","SubmittedDate":"12\/26\/2016 12:06"},{"Comment":"
Fantastic even without the jalapeno pepper, which I didn't have on hand.<\/p>","CommentId":7,"DateRated":"08\/10\/2016 15:17","GUID":"2a037f97e10d4685aa43e142c241ab6e","MemberId":2880256,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"jmkasprak","SubmittedDate":"08\/10\/2016 15:17"},{"Comment":"
I can't say enough about this quiche! It is so delicious. Like some of the other reviewers, I too left out the jalape?o part and it was still great. We used it for Christmas breakfast. It's a keeper!<\/p>","CommentId":8,"DateRated":"02\/06\/2016 10:46","GUID":"8ce8ca7a55b849dd8f2d0ca0d8b6a639","MemberId":6011066,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"dkl_rn","SubmittedDate":"02\/06\/2016 10:46"},{"Comment":"
I loved the flavor of this quiche. I didn't put any of the hot stuff into it and it was still a tad spicy for us, probably the Italian sausage we used. I added a teaspoon of minced garlic in the meat and veggie while sautéing them. Next time I'm going to use half the sausage, throw a couple more eggs into it and mix the cheese into the meat mixture cause I prefer it be somewhat blended into the dish instead of sitting on top of it. But all in all it is yummy even if I kept things the way the recipe reads, I just need to adjust for our tastes.<\/p>","CommentId":9,"DateRated":"","GUID":"5e24755d6de348eea523abae20e4261b","MemberId":6679248,"Rating":4,"ScreenName":"mollynrags","SubmittedDate":"12\/08\/2013 12:59"},{"Comment":"","CommentId":10,"DateRated":"02\/18\/2013 07:41","GUID":"7b41380d1fad4b58a72b8efdcea97f7c","MemberId":6807492,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"Gibblet247","SubmittedDate":"02\/18\/2013 07:41"},{"Comment":"","CommentId":11,"DateRated":"01\/16\/2013 08:16","GUID":"c0b043111bf34b348120023ba4b0064f","MemberId":3287370,"Rating":4,"ScreenName":"gutsygardener@prodigy.net","SubmittedDate":"01\/16\/2013 08:16"},{"Comment":"","CommentId":12,"DateRated":"01\/01\/2013 11:43","GUID":"1082cdffb3d94601b9acad9856e9ee47","MemberId":7006585,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"Igraine32","SubmittedDate":"01\/01\/2013 11:43"},{"Comment":"
I'd made this recipe once before and thankfully I found it again. I used two 9" pie crust that worked well. Since I have a small child I left out the jalapeno and green peppers, yet it was still out of this world yummy! I'll be making it more often, no doubt.<\/p>","CommentId":13,"DateRated":"12\/25\/2012 23:35","GUID":"abd2c09486c64f8bb016720280e87ccd","MemberId":5631509,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"Kathie1026","SubmittedDate":"12\/25\/2012 23:34"},{"Comment":"","CommentId":14,"DateRated":"11\/29\/2012 11:04","GUID":"1b455581addc405aa4a4f2ea1dfa1d2d","MemberId":1976956,"Rating":0,"ScreenName":"vickiestumpe","SubmittedDate":"11\/29\/2012 11:04"},{"Comment":"
Delicious and easy. Did not use a pie crust, made it w\/out b\/c I don't want the flour base. Used mild Italian sausage and made the rest as is. Four tsp of jalapeno is not too much! With a little fresh sour cream on the side, this is a very, very tasty quiche. Served it w\/ TOH's Honey Fruit Salad and Strawberry Cooler. All recipes are KEEPERS!<\/p>","CommentId":15,"DateRated":"01\/24\/2012 15:51","GUID":"ccf0e75b69a94519af98aff2fe17c114","MemberId":1598935,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"parksville","SubmittedDate":"01\/24\/2012 15:51"},{"Comment":"

This is the best quiche I have ever had! I used a couple of tsp. of jalapeno pepper from a jar so I didn't have to deal with chopping a fresh pepper and it was delicious! Highly recommend this recipe.<\/p>","CommentId":19,"DateRated":"10\/13\/2011 12:39","GUID":"53ccc9235c4e4b1da0853f319556884d","MemberId":1312526,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"susistuder","SubmittedDate":"10\/13\/2011 12:39"}]},"breadcrumb":[{"term_id":310796,"name":"Dishes & Beverages","slug":"dishes-beverages","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":310731,"taxonomy":"categories-v2","description":"Wondering what to make?
