Ingredients

3 larger golden potatoes or medium Russet potatoes
1 lb pork breakfast sausage mild
4 large eggs
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
½ cup cottage cheese
1 cup milk whole or 2%
1 cup diced bell peppers
¾ cup diced yellow onion
3 to 4 garlic cloves
1 cup baby spinach chopped
1 teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon dried marjoram
½ teaspoon fresh rosemary

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375 F.
In a cast iron skillet, cook sausage until brown. Remove it from the pan onto a bowl and set aside. Scrape the bottom of the skillet to ensure that no baked-on pieces are left.
1 lb pork breakfast sausage
Grate potatoes and arrange them into a crust on the bottom and up the sides of your skillet.
3 larger golden potatoes or medium Russet potatoes
Place the skillet with potato crust into the oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the crust appears dry and no excess liquid is visible.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk eggs with milk.
4 large eggs, 1 cup milk
Add remaining ingredients and stir everything together.
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, ½ cup cottage cheese, 1 cup diced bell peppers, ¾ cup diced yellow onion, 3 to 4 garlic cloves, 1 cup baby spinach, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, ½ teaspoon black pepper, 1 teaspoon dried marjoram, ½ teaspoon fresh rosemary
When the crust is ready, pour the egg filling into the skillet.
Bake the quiche for 25 to 30 minutes OR until the filling is set. Check the center of the quiche around the 20 minute mark.
Remove the quiche from the oven and let cool for at least 15 minutes before cutting.
Serve and enjoy!

Notes

The nutritional value is just an estimate.
I like to pack our breakfasts and dinners with protein, so I added cottage cheese to this quiche. Feel free to skip it, but just know, it is absolutely fantastic in this dish.
To check if the potato crust is done, press a spoon in the center of the pan and see if any liquid is visible. Also, the crust will be browning on the sides of the pan when it's close to being done.
