  3. Add diced yellow onions to the skillet and cook for 15-20 minutes until caramelized and golden brown.
  4. Stir in the diced red and green bell peppers, cooking for an additional 4-5 minutes, then add minced garlic and cook for 1 more minute.
  5. Transfer the vegetable mixture to a bowl and let it cool for a few minutes.
  6. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, dried sage, kosher salt, and black pepper until smooth.
  7. Fold in the cooled sausage, vegetable mixture, and shredded cheddar cheese gently.
  8. Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust and bake for 45-55 minutes until the top is golden brown.
  9. Remove the quiche from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
