Instructions: Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

In a large skillet over medium heat, brown sausage, about 5 minutes. Add onion and continue to cook until onion is fragrant and translucent, 3 to 5 minutes; drain thoroughly. Remove from heat and stir in cheese, broccoli, rice, tomato and olives. Transfer into pie crust.

Combine together eggs, cream, garlic and pepper; pour over sausage mixture to cover. Bake for 10 minutes; reduce heat to 400 degrees and bake 30 to 35 more minutes or until golden and firm.

This recipe yields 8 servings.

Comments: Blanch broccoli by dropping it in rapidly boiling water for 2 to 3 minutes, until emerald green, then quickly transfer into ice-cold water to stop cooking. This will enhance the broccolis crispness as well as its color.

Description: "This versatile (serve it for breakfast, brunch or dinner) sausage pie is fortified with brown rice, olives and Colby cheese."
