sausage & cheddar quiche

This recipe for sausage & cheddar quiche is adapted from a recipe I found at allrecipes.com.  The original called for bacon and swiss. . . I had neither, so just threw in the sausage and cheddar.  Sometimes, I also throw in some chopped jalapenos, if I'm feeling like some extra heat.  

1 Pillsbury pie crust (in the refrigerated section)

1/2 pound browned sausage

4 eggs

1 cup half & half

shredded cheddar cheese to taste (about 1 cup)

salt & pepper to taste

Heat oven to 400 degrees.  Place pie crust in pie pan and crimp edges.  Mix the browned sausage and cheddar together and place in the bottom of the pie crust.  Beat the eggs and add the half & half.  Also, add the salt & pepper, and jalapenos if you want.  Pour this mixture over the sausage and cheddar.  Bake for 15 minutes at 400 degrees.  Then, reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees and bake for an additional 35 minutes or until top is brown and the quiche is firm.  I use a crust shield to keep the crust from getting too dark.  Enjoy!
