Savory, satisfying, and full of Italian flavor, this quiche is packed with chicken or beef sausage, juicy cherry tomatoes, and melty cheese all wrapped in a flaky, golden crust.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (9-inch) pie crust, pre-made or homemade
  • 1/2 pound Italian chicken or beef sausage, cooked and crumbled
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella or parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil or oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish.
  2. Cook sausage in a skillet over medium heat until fully browned. Set aside.
  3. Press pie crust into the dish and prick the bottom with a fork. Blind bake for 8–10 minutes, then cool slightly.
  4. In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  5. Layer cooked sausage in the crust, then sprinkle cheese and tomatoes evenly on top.
  6. Pour egg mixture over the filling and top with fresh herbs.
  7. Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the center is set and lightly golden.
  8. Let rest for 10–15 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Blind baking the crust helps prevent sogginess.
  • Let sausage cool before mixing into the filling.
  • Use foil around the edges if the crust browns too fast.
  • Can be made ahead and refrigerated or frozen.
