INGREDIENTS
  

For the Crust:

  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs or store-bought pie crust
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter melted

For the Sausage Filling:

  • 8 oz sausage pork, turkey, or chicken
  • ½ cup diced onion optional for extra flavor
  • ½ cup diced bell peppers or spinach optional for a veggie boost

For the Egg Mixture:

  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk or half-and-half for a richer texture
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder optional for extra flavor
  • 1 cup shredded cheese cheddar, Swiss, or Monterey Jack

INSTRUCTIONS
 

Step 1: Prepare the Crust

  • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • If using homemade pie crust, roll out the dough and press it into a 9-inch pie dish.
  • Prick the bottom with a fork and blind bake for 10 minutes.
  • Let the crust cool slightly before adding the filling.

Step 2: Cook the Sausage

  • Heat a skillet over medium heat.
  • Add 8 oz sausage, breaking it apart with a spatula.
  • Cook until browned and fully cooked, about 5–7 minutes.
  • Drain excess grease and set aside to cool.

Step 3: Make the Egg Mixture

  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together:
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk or half-and-half
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
  • Stir in:
  • Cooked sausage
  • 1 cup shredded cheese
  • ½ cup diced onions or bell peppers (optional for extra flavor)

Step 4: Assemble and Bake

  • Pour the egg mixture into the pre-baked crust.
  • Sprinkle extra cheese on top for a golden finish.
  • Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 35–40 minutes, or until the center is set and a knife inserted comes out clean.
  • Let the quiche cool for 5–10 minutes before slicing.

NOTES

Pro Tips for the Perfect Sausage Quiche
  • Use full-fat dairy for a richer, creamier filling.
  • Pre-cook vegetables like spinach, mushrooms, or peppers to remove excess moisture.
  • Don’t overfill the crust—leave some space to prevent spills.
  • Bake until the center is just set to avoid a rubbery texture.
  • Let it rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing for cleaner cuts.
With these tips and techniques, your Sausage Quiche will turn out flaky, creamy, and packed with flavor every time! Enjoy it warm or save leftovers for a quick meal later.
