Instructions for Easy Sausage Quiche Recipe
Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure even baking. Lightly grease a 13×9-inch baking pan with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Next, spread the cooked crumble sausage evenly across the bottom of the prepared pan. Sprinkle chopped onions and shredded cheese over the sausage to create a flavorful base.
In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, half-and-half, and baking mix until the mixture is smooth and well combined. Carefully pour this egg custard mixture over the cheese and sausage, ensuring an even distribution for a perfect bake.
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. This ensures the quiche is fully set and cooked through.
Once done, remove from the oven and allow it to cool for about 5 minutes. Then, slice into 12 squares and serve warm. Add optional toppings like fresh herbs, salsa, or sour cream for an extra burst of flavor.
Perfect for breakfast, brunch, or even a quick dinner, this Sausage Quiche is both hearty and easy to make!
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of sausage?
Yes! You can swap breakfast sausage for Italian sausage, turkey sausage, or even chorizo for a spicier kick. Just make sure it’s fully cooked before adding it to the dish.
Do I have to use half-and-half?
No, but it helps create a rich and creamy texture. You can substitute with milk for a lighter quiche or use heavy cream for an even silkier consistency.
Can I add vegetables to this quiche?
Absolutely! Try mixing in bell peppers, mushrooms, spinach, or diced tomatoes for added flavor and texture. Just sauté them first to remove excess moisture.
What can I use instead of baking mix?
If you don’t have baking mix, you can use all-purpose flour combined with a pinch of baking powder and salt for a similar effect.
How do I know when the quiche is fully cooked?
Bake until the center is set and a knife inserted comes out clean. The edges should be slightly golden, and the top should have a firm, slightly puffy texture.
Can I make this quiche ahead of time?
Yes! You can assemble and refrigerate the mixture overnight, then bake in the morning. If baked in advance, store it in the fridge and reheat at 350°F until warmed through.
How long do leftovers last?
Leftover quiche can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat individual servings in the microwave or oven.
Can I freeze Sausage Quiche?
Yes! Bake and cool the quiche, then wrap tightly and store in the freezer for up to 2 months. Reheat straight from frozen in a 350°F oven until hot.
