This post originally brought to you by Martha White 

This Cornbread and Sausage Quiche is a Southern spin on classic quiche. It’s one of those unexpected dishes that are ideal for sharing at a potluck. Cornbread forms the base and when mixed with a rich sausage filled custard and plenty of cheddar cheese, it bakes beautifully golden. After resting, cut into wedges and enjoy with a cup of hot tea or coffee and share it with friends.

Potlucks are Made for Sharing

Potlucks generate a homespun sense of community. They are inherently purposed to highlight the sheer joy of sharing.  The sharing of great company, colorful stories, lots of laughs and of course, plenty of good food. At the invitation of Martha White I participated in a virtual potluck in celebration of cornbread in every form imaginable.

Cornbread And Sausage Quiche

No potluck would be complete without homemade bread and in my opinion, there’s no wrong time of day to enjoy cornbread. So for my contribution to the party, I developed this recipe for hearty Cornbread and Sausage Quiche. The beauty of this quiche is, it can be served for breakfast or brunch of course but, it’s also fitting to be paired with a salad for lunch or supper. Bake and take it over to a new neighbor to welcome them to the neighborhood or share it for a special family get together. There’s no wrong time of day to enjoy this mouthwatering dish. For more cornbread inspiration visit The Country Cook and see her recipe for  White Chicken Chili with Cornbread Dumplings.

Ingredients

  • 1 6 oz package Martha White Cotton Country or Buttermilk Cornbread Mix
  • 1 lb spicy or mild bulk breakfast sausage cooked and crumbled
  • 3 green onions thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup diced red bell pepper
  • 2 Tbsp butter
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 cup half & half
  • 1 tsp ground mustard
  • 1 tsp salt

  • 2 Tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cup shredded Colby-Jack cheese divided

Instructions

  • Prepare the Martha White buttermilk cornbread per the package instructions. Cube and set aside to cool.
  • Cook and crumble the sausage. Drain well.
  • Saute the sliced green onion and red bell pepper in 2 Tbsp butter until soft, around 2-3 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper to your taste.
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F and spray a 9 or 10 inch deep dish pie plate with cooking spray. Set aside.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, half & half, ground mustard, salt, onion powder, black pepper, garlic powder, nutmeg and a few dashes of hot sauce.
  • Add the sauteed vegetables, crumbled sausage, grated Parmesan cheese and 1 1/2 cup shredded Colby-Jack cheese. Pour over the cubed cornbread and gently stir until combined.
  • Pour into the pie dish and sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese on top.
  • Bake for 45 minutes or until the center is set when gently shaken. Check the quiche at 30 minutes and lay a piece of aluminum foil on top if needed to prevent over-browning.
  • Allow to rest on the counter for 10 minutes, then cut and serve.

    Just to let everyone know, it’s a super recipe! I wasn’t able to make it with sausage or peppers because of family dietary restrictions, but used random fridge vegetables, ham, leftover cheeses, and half a baked loaf of Trader Joe’s cornbread mix, and it still turned out really great. Thank you so much for the easy, clear recipe… Various family members can’t eat a lot of things, so I really appreciate a recipe that can be made with a buuunch of substitutions and still come out absolutely delicious. Thanks again. So so good.

    Hi….what size pan is the cornbread made in? I make mine from scratch but can’t see anything indicating the size pan therefore how much cornbread to cube. Is it a 9×13 or an 8”

      May 16, 2020 at 4:27 pm

      A 6 ounce box of cornbread mix is typically made in an 8×8 inch pan.

    Hi again. Reading comments, I see you make & bake the cornbread, THEN cube it after it’s cooled.

    Wouldn’t it be easier to pour the prepared mix, OVER the quiche filling? Kinda like when I make Taco Casserole.

    Have you ever prepared it this way before?

    Also, I’m going to sub hot sauce for BBQ sauce. 😋 YuM!

    Thanks so much for your patience and sharing your delicious recipes!

    Hi! I don’t understand what you mean by “cubing” the prepared cornbread… How do you cube a liquid – soft – substance? Thanks!

    I feel stupid asking this, but am I missing something in the recipe? Instructions say to prepare cornbread as per pkg. instructions, cube, set aside. I cannot see how or where it becomes the crust. I didn’t see anyone else having this issue in the comments. What am I not seeing? This sounds like heaven for my husband!

      If you’ll note in the instructions Step 6, the quiche filling is poured over the cubed cornbread, mixed and the entire mixture is poured into the dish to bake.
