Number Of Ingredients 9

All-purpose flour, for rolling
1 recipe Basic Pie Crust or 1 store-bought single-crust pie dough
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
2 cups crumbled cooked spicy Italian sausage
Coarse salt and ground pepper
6 large eggs
3/4 cup heavy cream
3/4 pound russet potato, cubed and steamed until tender
1 cup finely grated Parmesan (4 ounces)

Steps:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Lightly flour a rolling pin and work surface and roll out dough to a 12-inch round. Place in a 9-inch pie plate, fold overhang under, and crimp edge. Place a sheet of parchment paper over dough and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake until edge is dry and light golden, about 20 minutes. Remove parchment and weights.
Meanwhile, in a large skillet, melt butter over medium-high. Add sausage, season with salt and pepper, and cook until light golden, 8 to 10 minutes. In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs and cream. Add sausage, potato, and cheese and season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Whisk to combine, pour into crust, and bake until center of quiche is just set, 40 to 45 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.
