Low Carb Cheesy Italian Sausage Quiche

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1/2 cup diced onion
• 1/2 cup diced bell pepper
• 1/2 pound Italian sausage, casings removed
• 3 large eggs
• 1/4 cup heavy cream
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• 3 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese
• 3 ounces shredded cheddar cheese

Directions

1. Heat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Coat a 9-inch pie plate with cooking spray.
2. In a medium bowl, stir together the cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, salt, pepper and garlic powder, then put it aside.
3. In another bowl, whisk the heavy cream with the eggs until the mixture is smooth and blended, then set that aside too.
4. Warm the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the Italian sausage and cook it until browned, about 5 minutes. Stir in the bell pepper and onion, and continue cooking until the vegetables have softened, about 5 minutes more. Take the skillet off the heat and let the mixture cool a little before adding it to the egg mixture.
5. Pour the egg mixture into the prepared pie plate, then scatter the sausage mixture and cheese mixture over the top. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, until the middle is set and the top is golden brown. Cool for 10 minutes before serving.
