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 fun and easy to bake, especially on cold wintry days! It’s perfect for potlucks, family gatherings, and every meal!
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, a working, single mom, 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 for 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 three 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 found it easy, 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 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 have more of our favorite recipes coming up. But since sausage was the first one we made, it’s the first to be shared. If you want to make the crust from scratch (I totally recommend it), try My Favorite All-Butter Pie Crust (from Crazy For Crust).
So cheers to great new neighbors who share their to-go-to meals, and their home and make 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. 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 the egg mixture over the 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 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!

Notes
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?
What can I use instead of 1/2 and 1/2 for people with milk allergy? How about Almond Milk?
Thank you.
Hi Julie, we haven’t made this with a milk alternative before but it should work just fine with whichever unsweetened kind you generally use in recipes.
I never have Half & Half on… for this recipe I melted 1 tbls of butter in a glass measuring cup and filled the remainder of the cup w milk. (Technically you should use whole milk) mix together quickly so the butter doesn’t set. Came out perfect!
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!

I LOOOOOVE quiche! This looks so fantastic!
Thank you! I hope you enjoy 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!
