Sweet dreams are made of cheese,
who am I to diss a Brie
I cheddar the world and the feta cheese
everybody's looking for Stilton

Six Cheese Sausage Pie. I know quiche isn't exactly gourmet (and some would say boring) but it was a big hit at home, Partner wanting to polish it off as leftovers the next two nights rather than my freezing what was left for my lunch the next couple of days.)
Start with your favorite pie crust, enough to fill a deep dish pie plate.
Chop up one onion and saute in a little olive oil until caramelized, remove and set aside.
Fry up about half a pound of sausage to which you've mixed 1/2 teaspoon of dried sage, drain.
In large bowl mix:
2 cups shredded four cheese Italian blend (the popular bagged kind works)
1 carton (15 ounces) Ricotta cheese
1/3 cup grated Parmesan
4 beaten eggs
2 Tablespoons milk or cream
4 cups lightly cooked and chopped broccoli (or your favorite chopped veggies)
1/4 teaspoon Nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
a pinch or two of sea salt (I don't use much salt at all, you can add more)
Spoon mixture into prepared unbaked pie crust and bake at 350 degrees F foe 50-55 minutes (center should be set)
