Easy Sausage Quiche is easy to make & devour. We make this for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Who would have thought it’d be one of my family’s favorites?!
This Easy Sausage Quiche is a delicious household staple. It’s super fun and easy to bake, especially on cold wintry days! It’s perfect for potlucks, family gatherings, and every meal in between!
My kids seriously love quiche and will eat it for any meal. I only recently discovered this after moving next door to the “Quiche Queen” Jill. She makes quiche all the time for dinner and since my Jersey eats dinner there at least once a week, I have heard rave reviews. Jill being a working, single mom she told me how easy it was for her to make quiche for dinner and that she loves the simplicity of it. Her kids love it too and obviously, Jersey does as well.
What to serve with quiche?
I love making this with a few healthy sides to make a complete meal.
- Apple Walnut Salad
- Banana Blueberry Muffins
- Pumpkin Oat Breakfast Cookies
- Blueberry Banana Muffins
- Berry Fruit Salad
- Lemon Poppyseed Fruit Salad
- Coffee Cake
Once I figured out how much my kids love quiche, I took Jill’s lead and started making quiche for dinner. The best part about this, is I make 3 at a time so the leftovers make a great breakfast or lunch and the kids love it.
Once I started making it for dinner and I found how easy it was it quickly became a weekly thing. Now because we have a large family, I always make 2-3. Because of the leftovers as I mentioned and two, it really isn’t that much harder. I have two meals ready in less than an hour with a prep time total of 20 minutes.
We are now on a quiche streak and we have more of our favorite recipes coming up. But since sausage was the first one we made, well, it’s the first to be shared. If you want to make the crust from scratch (totally recommend) then try My Favorite All-Butter Pie Crust (from Crazy For Crust).
So cheers to great new neighbors who share their to-go-to meals, their home and making friends that will last a lifetime. So enjoy this Easy Sausage Quiche from our oven to yours. XOXO San
How do you make Easy Sausage Quiche?
-
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
-
Roll out pie crust into pie pan.
-
Top pie crust with sausage, cheese, and onion. You can mix the sausage, cheese, and onion in a medium mixing bowl and then throw into the pie crust. I prefer to layer it – one less dish to wash.
-
Mix the eggs and half and half in a bowl with seasonings, and pour egg mixture over toppings in the pie crust.
-
Bake in preheated oven for 15 minutes. Then reduce heat, leaving the pie in the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and bake for an additional 35 minutes. When it is done the top of the quiche will begin to turn a nice golden brown.
-
Remove from oven and allow to sit 5-10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
How do you store quiche?
Once baked, a quiche should be refrigerated.
Leave the cooked quiche in its baking pan and wrap tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil.
Eat within 3-4 days of making.
You can also freeze quiche in an airtight freezer bag.
This will extend the life up to 1-2 months.
Love quiche? Here are a few more of our favorites: Bacon Chive Crustless Quiche, Easy Mini Breakfast Quiche, Asparagus Bacon Quiche, or Bacon Fajita Quiche. All are delicious and easy!

Thank you for the delicious recipes. I love to cook all of them.
Do you brown the sausage first?
Yes, crumble and cook thoroughly. 🙂
YES
This looks and sounds amazing! Thank you for sharing!
Advice: use deep dish pie crust. Ingredients ran out of dish b4 I even got to oven
I’m sorry this happened! We’ve never had an issue with it spilling over while using a 9.5″ pie pan. What size did you use?
Just checking, so you put the quiche filling into an unbaked pie crust?
How long will this last before going bad?
2 or 3 days when refrigerated at 40° or below.
do you bake pie crust first?
Hello. The recipe ingredients include adding some dry mustard but there is no directions saying where/how to add it to the quiche! Can you please specify? Thanks 🙂
It should be added into the egg mixture before pouring into the crust. Thanks for pointing that out!
Never left instructions on when to add the dry mustard??
Thanks for pointing that out, it’s been fixed! They should be mixed in with the egg and milk mixture before pouring into the crust.
I absolutely LOVE how easy and tasty this is! Definitely worth a try
Thank you, I’m glad you like it!

Can you prepare day ahead then refrigerate bake next day??
You can totally prepare the filling and crust the day before, but wait to pour the filling into the crust until just before baking it as it may get soggy.
What doesn’t taste amazing with Sausage in! My kids can be fussy with Quiche, but this was a hit!!
I’m so glad they liked the quiche!

Quiche is my favorite food. Sausage and mushrooms together are wonderful!
Sausage and spinach quiche was delicious. I used 4 eggs, a pinch of nutmeg and sharp cheddar & mozzarella cheese. Smoked cheese sounds good, will try that next time!
Spinach sounds like a tasty healthy addition for sure! We also like to mix it up, sometimes we use bacon or other types of cheese. Smoked cheese would definitely add a richer taste! Thank you for the review!
Should the sausage be cooked first?
Hi Vince! The sausage should be fully cooked before adding to the quiche. I hope you enjoy it!
Baking time – 45 or 50 minutes? Recipe says 45, but instructions say 15 + 35.
Sorry for the confusion! It should be 15 + 35, so 50 total. I have fixed the recipe card. Thank you for letting us know!
Just tried your recipe it was great I added a little spinach to Veg it up, it was delicious!
That sounds like a delish addition! So glad you enjoyed it.
How muvh of a different would using 2% milk instead of whole or half and half make?
Hi Sarah! We use 2% milk all the time when in a pinch and it always turns out great! I hope you enjoy!
This looks great! make me hungry… Thank you for sharing!

This wasca very tasty dish. Seemed like bottom crust was still a bit raw. How do I fix that?
Hi. Is there a particular sausage that you use?
I just use breakfast sausage.
Always up for a good quiche. Like how easy this is to make.
I love quiche so much, adding this to my menu for next week!
This Sausage Quiche is most definitely an EPIC breakfast!
This is seriously amazing!! Perfect way to start your day!
This is so easy and delicious! The whole family loved it.
I love a little country gravy over this quiche. Super simple and delicious. Thank you!!
Nice recipe. It was really simple to make!
Schwans used to have a quiche recipe that had everything in the sausage recipe but also had hashbrowns in it too. Anybody have that recipe?
Hi Jaime, we’ve added potatoes to this recipe with no issue. Just cook 2 cups of hashbrowns according to the package, then add to the pie crust and top with the other ingredients. The bake time should not be affected as the potatoes are already cooked. I hope this helps!
