A savory and satisfying sausage spinach quiche featuring a flaky pie crust filled with a creamy egg custard, seasoned breakfast sausage, fresh spinach, and melted cheddar cheese. Perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a light dinner, this quiche is easy to prepare and bake to golden perfection.

Ingredients

Pie Crust

  • 1 unbaked 9″ pie crust

Fillings

  • 1 cup cooked crumbly breakfast sausage (chicken, turkey, or pork)
  • 1 cup fresh spinach
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Custard

  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 cup half and half
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches an even temperature for baking the quiche.
  2. Prepare Egg Mixture: In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the 6 large eggs, 1 cup half and half, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper until fully combined and smooth.
  3. Layer Ingredients: Place the unbaked 9″ pie crust on a baking sheet for easy handling. Start by spreading the cooked crumbly breakfast sausage evenly over the bottom of the crust, followed by layering the fresh spinach evenly, and then topping with shredded cheddar cheese.
  4. Add Egg Mixture: Slowly pour the egg and half-and-half mixture over the layered ingredients in the pie crust, ensuring it fills evenly without overflowing.
  5. Bake the Quiche: Carefully transfer the quiche to the preheated oven. Bake for 45 to 60 minutes, beginning to check doneness at 45 minutes. The quiche is done when the center is firm and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  6. Cool and Serve: Remove the quiche from the oven and allow it to cool for several minutes before slicing to let the custard fully set. Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

  • You can use an unbaked homemade pie crust, a premade refrigerated pie crust, or a premade frozen pie crust—choose based on your convenience and preference.
  • For the sausage, you can substitute with crumbly chicken, turkey, or pork breakfast sausage depending on dietary preference.
  • If you are concerned about the quiche spilling during transfer to the oven, bake it in a pie plate placed on a rimmed baking sheet to catch any drips.
  • The nutrition information provided is an estimate and should not replace professional medical advice.
