Sausage & Mushroom Quiche

This is an altered Paula Deen recipe. It is good with a salad for dinner or for breakfast with muffins. Try it... you'll like it!

Ingredients
1 1-lb. package ground sausage (cooked, drained, and crumbled)
1 tablespoon butter
1/2 lb. fresh mushrooms (sliced or chopped-- depends on how you like them)
1/2 large Vidalia (or other mild) onion, chopped (OPTIONAL-- I don't use b/c I hate onion!)
4 eggs
1 cup sour cream
1 cup cottage cheese
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon hot sauce
1-8oz package shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
1- 9 inch refrigerator pie crust (or homemade if you're feeling ambitious)

Directions
- Saute mushrooms (and onions) in butter until tender.
- Mix all ingredients together in large bowl.
- Pour into pie crust.
- Bake at 350 for 50-60 minutes
- Cool at least 15 minutes before cutting.

Tips from a Kitchen of Reality
- I use low fat or fat free sour cream & cottage cheese-- it works fine.
- This is a great recipe to make the night before then pour in the crust right before you bake.
