Quiche is a very versatile dish and easy to make with prepared pie crusts from your grocery store. A quiche can be made with or without meat, and can be served right away, or prepared ahead of time and re-heated to make a quick breakfast for overnight guests. I like the use of onions and paprika in this recipe to give it plenty of flavor. The flour mixed in with the shredded cheese keeps the cheese from clumping together. As always with cooking, you can experiment with different variations of seasonings, like, dried mustard, thyme or tarragon. Other ingredients like, red or green pepper, ham, mushrooms, Swiss, or pepper jack cheese makes a great variation. Enjoy !
Vegetarian option: Omit sausage and substitute 1 cup chopped, blanched broccoli or, cooked, drained, spinach. It's all good !

Place the sausage in the pie crust. In a small bowl,
