Why You’ll Love This Roasted Red Pepper And Sausage Quiche

This quiche brings the best of breakfast together in one dish. It’s a one-pan wonder that can be made ahead of time, making your mornings smoother. The mix of flavors hits every craving: savory sausage, mellow roasted peppers, and a custardy egg base, all inside a buttery crust.

What Kind of Sausage Should I Use?

You can use any fully cooked sausage you enjoy. A smoky kielbasa, spicy Italian, or even a herby chicken sausage works great here. The sausage is the savory backbone of the dish, so pick one with good flavor that complements the sweetness of the roasted peppers. If your sausage isn’t pre-cooked, make sure to cook it fully before adding it to the quiche.

Ingredients for the Roasted Red Pepper And Sausage Quiche

To make this quiche sing, you only need a few flavorful staples. Each one plays a key role in balancing the richness and brightness of this savory pie.

• Pie crust
• Eggs
• Milk or half-and-half
• Shredded cheese
• Cooked sausage
• Roasted red peppers
• Salt
• Black pepper

The pie crust provides the flaky base that holds everything together. Eggs and milk create the creamy custard filling, while shredded cheese melts into every bite. Sausage adds a hearty, meaty bite, and the red peppers offer sweetness and color. Seasoning with salt and pepper ties it all up perfectly.

How To Make the Roasted Red Pepper And Sausage Quiche

Step 1: Prepare the Crust

Preheat your oven and roll out your pie crust into a pie dish. Blind bake the crust for about 10 minutes until lightly golden. This keeps it from getting soggy once the filling goes in.

Step 2: Cook the Sausage

If your sausage isn’t already cooked, cook it in a skillet over medium heat until browned. Drain off any excess fat and chop into bite-sized pieces.

Step 3: Whisk the Custard

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk (or half-and-half), salt, and pepper until smooth and well combined.

Step 4: Layer the Filling

Scatter the cooked sausage and chopped roasted red peppers evenly in the crust. Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the top. Pour the egg mixture over everything, letting it settle into all the spaces.

Step 5: Bake Until Golden

Bake the quiche at 375°F (190°C) for 35 to 40 minutes or until the center is just set and the top is slightly golden. Let it cool for a few minutes before slicing.
