Sausage and Spinach Quiche

Sausage and Spinach Quiche with a striped kitchen towel wrapped around on the left.My new favorite breakfast–or dinner–this filling Sausage and Spinach Quiche is absolutely delicious! Using a store-bought freezer pie crust helps this dish come together extra quickly. Making a quiche is actually really fun and easy. This one has sausage, cheese, and spinach. What’s not to love? Your family will be thrilled to see this dish come through the dinner rotation! 

Remember my friend, Noel, from Louisiana that gave me the recipe for Cuppa Cookies? Well, she also served me this delicious Sausage and Spinach Quiche the day she gave me the cookies. That girl has some great taste when it comes to food. She is as down-home and flavor savvy as it gets. Everything she makes is delicious.

I’ve made it with spicy breakfast sausage and even spicy Italian sausage, and both were phenomenal. Noel prefers it with spicy Italian sausage, and I think that version is my favorite, too. Experiment with what type of sausage you make it with to see what you like best. You really can’t go wrong. I hope you like this simple breakfast, dinner, or brunch recipe as much as I do.

do I need to brown the sausage or can I put it in raw?

The sausage needs to be browned before adding it to the egg mixture to make sure it’s cooked all the way through when the quiche comes out of the oven. As an alternative, you can use precooked sausage crumbles, which are found in the freezer section of the grocery store.

I don’t like spinach. what’s a good vegetable substitute for this quiche?

Zucchini or bell pepper is a good substitute for spinach. Chop up the zucchini or bell pepper into small pieces, so they will cook evenly.

If you want to use heavy cream, I recommend using half milk and half cream in this recipe.

will a refrigerated pie crust also work for this recipe?

Yes. Just make sure to use a deep-dish pie pan, so all the quiche mixture will fit into it.

IF I ONLY HAVE MEDIUM EGGS SHOULD I USE 5 INSTEAD OF 4?

Yes. If you don’t have large eggs and need to use medium-sized eggs, add a fifth egg.

    I made this yesterday. I used hot Italian sausage and also used some frozen leaf lettuce that I thawed then threw in with the sausage as it was cooking. I added onion too and used a mixture of cheddar and pepper jack cheese. Mine took about 10 minutes longer to bake. It was very good and I’d make it again.
