Notes

Note: For a vegetarian take on this quiche, you may want to use just the bell peppers and the cheeses. You chop up about 4 large green and red bell peppers. Saute them with 1/2 cup of chopped onions in a tablespoon of olive oil for about 10 to 12 minutes and follow the above directions, minus the sausage.

Some say that the peppers should go into the quiche uncooked. You can certainly throw the peppers in uncooked if you like. However, I feel cooking the peppers really releases a great flavor that they just don’t have when they are raw. You be the judge.
