This post brought to you by Martha White ~ This Cornbread And Sausage Quiche is a Southern spin on classic quiche. It’s one of those different than expected and ideal for sharing at a potluck. Cornbread forms the base and when mixed with a glorious 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 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, today I’m participating in a virtual potluck with 9 other great bloggers. At the end of today’s post, you’ll see links to more tasty cornbread creations from friends afterall, that’s what you do at a potluck. 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’m sharing this 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.

This quiche looks delicious. My favorite way to make corn bread is plain, baked in my old cast iron skillet, served with beans and diced onions.

I love to make cornbread in a very hot cast iron skillet. The crunchy outer edge is the best.
Barbara Bradford says
I so love the quick & easy Martha White cornbread. I like to preheat my cast iron fry pan with real unsalted butter in the oven. Then just pour my batter in, sprinkle the top with real bacon bits, dried cranberries… and pop it back into the oven. So good !!

My mother in law was a Louisiana farm girl. She taught me to enjoy eating cornbread crumbled in buttermilk. My city friends think I’m crazy but I love it. Thanks, Nana!
Melissa says
Hi Larry, I don’t think you’re crazy at all. That was my Daddy’s regular routine when we had cornbread. I can still see him doing that, thanks for the memory!

I made this today. My wife doesn’t like sausage so I substituted bacon and pork leftovers. It still came out wonderfully. Great recipe!
Melissa says
Hi Ron, that sounds wonderful! Cooking is all about improvisation and finding what you like and using what you have on hand. Thanks so much for letting me know we love this one, too.

Could the Cornbread and Sausage Quiche be frozen after it has been baked?
Melissa says
I think it could but have never tried it. If you do it let me know how it works.
Ashlee says
I recently made this for a work function we had in the morning. I was in charge of the breakfast dish and decided to try this recipe on my coworkers. The entire quiche was gone in less than 10 minutes. It was absolutely amazing. I have passed the recipe on to several people. Love this dish!
Melissa says
Wonderful, thanks for letting me know!
bloxorz says
I enjoyed cooking and experimenting with new recipes. I will try the way you suggested. It’s not like I do. thank you for sharing. It will be better than what I do.
Nancy havener says
I’m going to try this recipe but want to cook in 6 individual tart pans any recommendations on time to bake?
Melissa says
That would likely cut the baking time by half. Check it and adjust from there.
Jacqui says
The dish is AMAZING! It is the best quiche I have ever tasted! The only change I made was I did a sweet cornbread. DELISH! Thank you for sharing m!
