Easy Sausage Quiche is Perfect for Dinner
We're huge "breakfast or dinner" fans at our house. Be it a pan of buttermilk biscuits smothered in sausage gravy, a big bowl of cheddar grits topped with bacon and eggs or big stack of buttermilk pancakes dripping with a generous drizzle of maple syrup. We're not picky any of the aforementioned will do.
Easy Sausage Quiche
- Quiche ranks quite high on our list for busy day meals also, and when paired with a sweet fruit salad it can really hit the spot.
- In this recipe, I am purposely keeping the ingredients simple but, feel free to adapt using your favorite cheese, or add some heat with a spicy sausage, if you like.
- It can be made in advance and reheated by the piece, too.
- To reheat a whole quiche in the oven: Preheat the oven to 325°F. Lay foil loosely on top and bake for 10-15 minutes just until heated through.
- You can use a different variety of cheese in this recipe using what you have on hand or the flavor your prefer.
