Instructions
Preheat your skillet on medium heat.
Cook sausage for about 2-3 minutes, breaking the Impossible Sausage into pieces using a spatula as it cooks.
Once sausage is browned, drain.
Add plant-based sausage to the bottom of your pie crust.
Sprinkle flour on top of plant-based ground sausage to evenly cover.
Chop up vegetables and place them in a mixing bowl then add vegan cheese.
Toss tomatoes, garlic, onions, jalapeño, spinach, and cheese in bowl.
Arrange vegetable and cheese mixture on top of sausage.
Pour one cup of dairy-free heavy cream into a mixing bowl then add two plant eggs.
Add seasonings and chopped parsley then use a whisk to give it a swirl.
Pour egg/cream mixture on top of plant-based sausage and vegetable mixture.
Bake at 350° F for 45 minutes OR until set.
Serve and enjoy!
Notes
You can use foil on the outer edge of your pie crust for the first 20 minutes to keep it from baking too fast. Then remove the foil to allow it to bake for the remaining time.
Add cayenne pepper and crushed red pepper flakes only if you like it spicy.
If you're making a quiche for the weekend, you can go ahead and prepare the full package (roll) of plant-based sausage and place the remaining cooked sausage in a storage container for the next day OR you can freeze it for later.
Don't forget to sprinkle flour over your "sausage" after you've placed it in your pie crust. It will absorb moisture and encourage creaminess so that everything comes together nicely.
