Directions
Preparing your biscuit sausage quiche is simple and satisfying. Follow these step-by-step instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a skillet, cook the sausage over medium heat until it’s browned and cooked through. Don’t forget to drain any excess fat!
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well-combined.
- Take a 9-inch pie pan and arrange the biscuits to form a crust, slightly overlapping them as needed.
- Evenly sprinkle the cooked sausage over the biscuit crust.
- Pour the egg mixture over the sausage, followed by an even layer of shredded cheese.

How to serve Biscuit Sausage Quiche
When it comes to serving your quiche, the options are endless! You can slice it into wedges and serve it warm, alongside a fresh fruit salad or a light green salad for a balanced meal. Pair it with a zesty citrus mimosa or a robust cup of coffee to elevate the experience. For added flair, consider placing it on a colorful serving platter to catch your guests’ attention.
How to store
Storage and reheating tips are essential for leftovers or meal prep. After the quiche has cooled, store any uneaten portions in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It will last for about 3-4 days. To reheat, simply pop it in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes or until heated through. If you plan to keep it longer, this quiche can be frozen for up to 2 months. Just be sure to wrap it tightly to prevent freezer burn.
Tips to make
Here are some helpful cooking tips to ensure your quiche turns out perfectly:
- Make sure to pre-cook the sausage thoroughly to avoid any undercooked meat in your final dish.
- Let the quiche sit for a few minutes after baking to allow it to set, which makes slicing easier.
- Mixing in chopped vegetables, like bell peppers or spinach, can add color and extra nutrition to the quiche.
Variations
Feeding picky eaters or just looking to switch things up? Here are a few creative twists to consider:
- Try adding different cheeses like feta or mozzarella for varied flavors.
- If you’re going for a regional spin, consider adding diced jalapeños for a Southwest flavor.
- For a vegetarian option, omit the sausage entirely and load it up with your favorite vegetables like mushrooms, zucchini, or artichokes.
