Easy Sausage Quiche is a spectacular savory pie that’s ideal for serving at any meal. Breakfast sausage, green onion and lots of cheddar cheese smothered with a seasoned egg custard combine into a classic combination of flavors that always satisfy. The preparation isn’t complicated and well worth the small amount of effort it takes to make. Serve it for breakfast, brunch, lunch or dinner any day of the week.
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. Also popular with MSSK visitors checkout my Western Omelet Quiche and Kentucky Hot Brown Quiche which are always special. Another quiche recipe you may like to try is this classic cheesy Quiche Lorraine from Boulder Locavore.

I diced a jalapeño pepper after removing seeds and most of the ribs, omitting the hot sauce. We liked this addition, just add the diced jalapeño with the green onion when sautéing!

Would this freeze well if I were to make two? Looking to fill the freezer before a new baby!

Sure, quiche freezes well. Best wishes and congrats!
Denise says
Can I use heavy cream instead of half and half? Same amount?
Melissa says
Oh yes, no problem at all.
Virginia Winn says
Can i use whole milk instead of half and half?
Melissa says
It’s best to make this recipe as written.
Daphne says
First time baking a quiche but I’ve always enjoyed them. Followed the directions. Turned out excellent. First time baking but definitely not the last!!!
Teri V. says
Looks yummy. What other kinds of sceese would go with this recipe. Would swiss cheese work?
Melissa says
You can use any cheese you like in the same amount, sure.
Annie says
Great recipe! I didn’t have mustard powder on hand so I used 2 tsp of whole grain mustard instead. I’ve noticed many comments have mentioned subbing half and half for another type of milk. I used 1 cup of 2 percent and quiche came out perfect. We’re huge coffee drinkers so our half and half is treated like gold around here. My extended family loved it.
Kristy says
My friends and family went wild over this quiche. I’m getting ready to make it for the 3rd time. We can’t get enough.
Melissa says
That’s awesome, thanks so much!
Christy Johnson says
Really delicious! Plenty for a family of four however we are a family of two so I may cut it in half and instead of a pie crust I’ll try hashbrowns for the crust. I’ll let you know how it goes, but it was easy and delicious, quick! Thanks!
Bobbie Holt says
Perfect except way too much garlic salt!
Melissa says
Salt is subjective in that everyone has their personal taste. If you’re sensitive to it, you should always adjust the recipe you’re making to suit your own taste.
Kay says
Can you freeze the quiche after it’s been baked ?
Melissa says
Yes, you can. Thaw overnight in the fridge, then cover loosely with foil and gently reheat in a 325°F oven.
Debbie says
