Sausage Quiche

I've always been a fan of quiche, but have never seemed to find a recipe I thought would be easy to make (I need recipe with 10 ingredients or less).  I made this easy quiche I found on Paula Dean's website, very easy and delicious.

Here's what you'll need:
-pound mild bulk sausage
-One 8-inch deep-dish pie crust, in its aluminum plate
-2 cups grated sharp Cheddar cheese
-3 eggs
-1 1/2 cups half-and-half
(optional white onion, mushrooms, spinach, bacon)

1. Turn on the oven to 350 degrees F. Sauté the sausage in the skillet over medium heat, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks, Cook it until no pink remains, about 10 minutes. Using the spoon to lift it out of the skillet and let the fat drip back into the pan, spread the sausage in the bottom of the pie crust.

2. Sprinkle the cheese over the sausage. Break the eggs into the bowl. Pour in the half-and half and beat them together with a whisk. Pour the mixture over the cheese.
3. Put the quiche on the cookie sheet and put it in the oven. Bake the quiche for 35 to 40 minutes, until the center is not jiggly.
4. Using oven mitts or hot pads, take the quiche out of the oven. Let it sit for about 15 minutes before you cut it into wedges.
Makes 8 small wedges or 4 big ones
