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