This sausage quiche recipe is made with an oil based crust and is full of sausage, green peppers, and cheese! You'll want to have this not just for breakfast, but for lunch and dinner as well!

Alright guys, I have been keeping a secret for a while now that I'm finally ready to tell... I'm a mom! Not just any mom, but a mom to chickens haha!

So, my husband and I recently invested in chickens a couple months ago. I had them growing up and loved taking care of them and he wanted to know the joy of them as well! We love them so much and definitely recommend them to other people!

However, with 6 chickens comes lots and lots of eggs. Especially for just my husband and I. So, I am always looking for ways to use up the loads of eggs we have sitting on our counter and in the fridge.

Quiche is one of my favorite recipes to make. I like to think of it as my "fridge clean out recipe." You can really add whatever you want into it. I usually look in my fridge and see what I need to use up and add that!

Although, one of my favorite breakfast wraps is a western wrap with green peppers and sausage, so that was the inspiration behind this recipe.

Let's make this yummy sausage quiche recipe together!

What is Quiche?

Think of quiche as a savory pie that has a custard and creamy texture. This savory pie is made up of eggs, milk, cheese and optional add-ins.

Quiche is a great brunch option served alongside a simple salad. Although it can really go for any meal of the day!

Just like a regular pie, a quiche has a flakey crust on the bottom. We love using our oil-based crust recipe for this quiche. It is simple and flakey.

Tips to Make This Sausage Quiche Recipe

• To get a super creamy quiche, beat the eggs using an immersion blender. This will get them very smooth and result in a velvety quiche.
• To know if your quiche is done, jiggle it slightly. If the middle isn't runny when you jiggle it, it's done!
• To enhance the flavors within your quiche, try adding in a variety of cheeses!
• Try adding fresh herbs within your quiche to add flavor as well.
• For extra creaminess within the quiche, you can substitute some of the milk for heavy cream. The heavy cream will really give it that velvety texture.

Sausage Quiche Recipe Step-By-Step

Start by making the crust and pressing that into your pie pan. I used the This Hygge Home recipe for an oil based crust!Once the crust is pressed into your pie pan, we're ready to start on the actual quiche part!

For the quiche, start by cooking the sausage or meat of your choice. Once fully cooked, set aside.

Next, dice up the green peppers and onions.

Thirdly, whisk together the milk and the eggs. To get a creamier quiche, blend the eggs and milk in a blender. Season them with salt and pepper. Once whisked, fold in the shredded cheese.

Now that the fillings for the quiche are prepped. It is time to put it all together. Start by pouring your meat, and diced onions and peppers into your crusted pie pan.

Pour the egg and milk mixture over top of the peppers, onions, and sausage.

Bake the quiche for about an hour or until the middle is set. Although to ensure it doesn't get overdone, start checking it around 45 minutes. If you slightly jiggle the quiche, the middle shouldn't be runny when you jiggle it. That's how you know it's done!

If you make this recipe, be sure to let us know! We would love to hear how it turned out for you!

Sausage Quiche Recipe FAQs:

What are the ingredients for a quiche?

The main ingredients for a quiche are milk, eggs, salt, pepper, cheese and desired fillings. Those fillings in this recipe consist of diced onion, green peppers, and ground sausage.

Is it necessary to prebake crust for a quiche?

Baking the crust for a quiche is not needed. While the crust on top of the pie pan may get slightly dry, the crust that is covered by the filling will remain moist. The crust will not get to the point of becoming soggy. At least not if you use the oil based crust!

Can I use milk instead of heavy cream for quiche?

Absolutely! People often think to use heavy cream because it helps things set and firm up. Which is true. Although, milk does that just as well in a quiche. It does it even better if there is shredded cheese involved because you'll get more fat from that! Milk helps to have a lighter quiche, while heavy creamy creates a heavier and creamier quiche.
