This is a great basic quiche recipe with simple ingredients that can be modified to your family’s liking, or for what you have on hand. The crumbled sausage seasoned with garlic, mustard, and onion creates an amazing flavor profile. We use spinach but you could use lots of veggies such as green or red peppers, sliced zucchini, or mushrooms. Make the day before and reheat for a quick breakfast for special occasions or for busy weekdays.

You can skip the crust to make a dairy-free crustless quiche recipe simply by spraying a pie dish or pie pan with nonstick cooking spray then pour egg mixture into the pan which prevents sticking.

Substitutions & Variations

Use any non-dairy milk such as unsweetened almond milk, cashew milk, coconut milk, oat milk, or rice milk instead of soy being mindful that swapping may alter the flavor of the quiche.
Swap the ground sausage with turkey sausage, diced ham, crispy bacon crumbles, or crumbled Italian sausage.
Stick with spinach only or incorporate additional fresh veggies. Sauté vegetables with the sausage for best results.
Use frozen spinach instead of fresh by microwaving until thawed then pressing all excess water out before adding to the skillet.
Top with dairy-free cheeses if craving that cheesy flavor or looking for a way to further elevate the flavors in the recipe.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you need to prebake the crust?

Not for quiche! Simply pour the egg mixture into a store bought or homemade pie crust and bake as directed.

How long to bake quiche?

Our recipe takes 50-55 minutes or until set with golden and crispy edges. All ovens cook differently so we recommend initially setting your time for 50 minutes then testing by inserting a knife or toothpick into the center of the quiche. If it comes out clean, then you are good to go. If not, continue to bake in 5-minute increments until fully cooked.

Kids In The Kitchen

Cooking tips and suggestions for kids making this recipe.

Ask to practice knife skills by dicing the onion then add to the sausage in the skillet to cook. Watch as the onions turn from white to translucent (clear). The onions will also start to smell sweet as they cook, which adds a delicious flavor to the savory sausage.
Brown sausage by breaking the log into smaller pieces to cook until no longer pink. Cook over low to medium heat to prevent burning. If there is excess grease in the skillet, ask for help to drain.
Use a whisk to easily scramble the eggs in the mixing bowl with the other ingredients. If you don’t have a whisk at home, you can use a fork instead.

Storage and Reheating Instructions

In the fridge: Store for up to 5 days in an airtight container.

In the freezer: Store individual slices or the entire pie for up to 3 months. Wrap slices in plastic wrap to prevent freezer burn.

Microwave: If you do desire it warm, reheat individual slices in the microwave in 30-second increments or until hot.

Oven: Place the entire pie in a 325 degree preheated oven for 15 minutes or until heated through. Cover the quiche with aluminum foil to prevent the top from becoming too crispy.
