Instructions
-
Prepare the sausage mixture: Preheat a pan over medium heat and sauté onions in canola oil until transparent. Add the ground sausage and cook until browned. Set aside.
-
Prepare the quiche: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a deep dish pie pan and fit the pie crust into it.

-
Assemble the quiche: Pour the egg mixture into the pie crust, spreading it evenly.
-
Bake the quiche: Bake the quiche for 40-45 minutes, or until the center is set and no longer jiggles.
-
Make the sausage gravy: While the quiche is baking, heat the remaining sausage mixture in a pan. Stir in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes. Slowly add the milk while stirring constantly. Cook until the gravy thickens. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
-
Serve: Once the quiche is done, remove from the oven and top with the hot sausage gravy. Serve warm and enjoy!
