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.

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!

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.

    I have made this quiche so many times and it comes out perfect and delicious every time! I make it exactly as the recipe reads. It’s fantastic!

  2. 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?

    1. 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!

  3. My kids LOVE this, but don’t eat the crust. Do you know if the baking time should be modified in any way if I make this without a crust?

    1. Hi Jewel, you can cut out the first 15 minutes of baking and just cook for 30-35 minutes at 350° or until the eggs are set.
