Home made Quiche with Italian Sausage

This is a very simple dish. Easy to make, and does not require a lot of preparation.
However, there is a min point of this dish, it is not quite filling for a dinner, if you are used to eating rice for dinner.

But, I like this dish, especially if I do not have idea what to make.
And you can vary the filling.

Here is the variant with spinach and Italian sausage.

Ingredients:
1 box of frozen puff pastry
3 eggs
100-150 gram grated cheese
150-200 gram spinach
150 ml (fresh) cream
150-200 ml milk (or adjust as needed)
salt and pepper to taste
1/2 tsp nutmeg
3-4 Italian sausages, in slices
1 piece of butter
1 onion, cut

The steps
  1. Let the frozen puff pastry at room temperature and set aside
  2. Heat the butter and the onion until the onion is golden brown
  3. Add the spinach, stir fry for a while
  4. Add the sausages and spices. Stir that for 1-2 minutes.
  5. Add the milk and (fresh) cream. Note: you may want to dilute the cream with the milk first before pouring it into the pan.
  6. When the spinach is well soaked and reduced in volume and the mixture is almost boiled, taste and add the salt/pepper as needed.
  7. Remove the pan, and wait until it is a bit cool, then add the beaten eggs and half of the cheese.
  8. Prepare and arrange the puff pastry on the pie mold.
  9. Bake the puff pastry in the oven, around 180Celcius and for 5-10 minutes.
  10. Take the pastry out and fill in the mold with the spinach mixture.
  11. Cover with the rest of the grated cheese.
  12. Put it back in the oven and bake it for around 30 minutes or until the mixture is cooked and the cheese is melted and golden brown.
  13. Enjoy it.
And here is my little hero ready to eat it.
