Sausage Leek and Red Pepper Quiche

I made this for a friend's birthday brunch today.  It was awesome!  Sorry no pictures but take my culinary word for it it's good.

Sausage Red Pepper and Leek Quiche
 
◾1/2 package shredded frozen potatoes
◾1 pounds hot or sweet sausage (I used Jimmy Dean Sage Sausage)
◾1 red bell pepper, diced medium/fine
1 leek cleaned and chopped medium (rinse thoroughly!!)
2 Tbls butter
◾1 1/4 cup grated mozzerella
◾1/2 cup grated parmesan
◾4 large eggs
◾3/4 cup half and half
◾1/3 cup milk
◾Salt and pepper
 
Directions:
Preheat oven to 425.
 
Microwave bag of potatoes for 5 minutes without opening it. (You are only using about 1/2 but I just let the portion I don't use cool on the counter and use it in the morning for hash browns.)
 
Cook sausage in large skillet.  Break up sausage and stir until sausage is no longer pink.  Drain sausage and set aside.  Add butter, bell peppers and leeks to skillet.  Cook until just tender, about 3-4 minutes.  Mix sausage, veggies and cheese in a bowl.  Add salt and pepper to taste. 
Spread the potatoes in the bottom of a 9x11 greased pan.  Place the sausage mixture over the potatoes evenly.
Whisk together eggs, half and half and milk in bowl.  Pour egg mixture over sausage mixture and bake on baking sheet for 20 minutes.
Reduce oven temperature to 350 and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until center of quiche is no longer runny.  (To fancy it up I add a generous sprinkle of parmesan the last 5 minutes.)
