Sausage and Kale Pie

I guess you could call this sausage and kale quiche, but after watching my sister in law make real quiche, I feel like this takes so many short cuts it should probably just called a savory egg pie. But whatever you call it, it's yummy. This is one of the ways that I can get the veggie hating members of my family to eat vegetables without complaint.

Sausage and Kale Quiche. 

1 lb sausage, any type will work, italian, breakfast, this time it was frozen pre made patties because that's what I had.

4ish cups kale. 

1 Onion, this is something I like but my family doesn't, so it isn't shown in this recipe. 

12 eggs
1/2 c. Milk or cream 
1.5 - 2 cups shredded cheese. ( I used Mexican blend. )
2 pre made deep dish crusts. 
Salt and pepper to taste. 

1/4 t. nutmeg (I think this makes it taste quiche-y-er, I know that's not a word, but it is optional)

Brown Sausage. 

While sausage is browning prepare kale, I roll mine into bundles and the chop chiffonade style. If you are using onion finely chop. 

Drain sausage and set aside leaving a little of the drippings in the pan. 

Cook onions until clear, add kale until completely wilted. Add salt and pepper to taste. 

Mix sausage and kale mixture.

Put half of the meat and veggie mixture in each pie pan. Or in my case, mix 1/3 of the sausage with all of the kale, and put the kale mix in one pan and the sausage in another. 

In another container mix eggs and milk, salt and pepper until blended. (You can add the nutmeg here I was just out) add cheese. 

Pour 1/2 egg mixture into each pan, gently fold kale mix with eggs to make even. 

Bake 35-45 min at 350* until lightly browned with no jiggle in the pan. 

While they are cooking, clean your kitchen, seriously, there is plenty of time and you'll thank me later. 

Remove from oven and let cool for 10-20 minutes. Then slice and serve, this can be for Breakfast lunch or dinner, served alone or with a salad or fresh fruit! Yummy!
