Spinach Sausage Quiche

Alright folks, buckle up for my little culinary confession: the Spinach Sausage Quiche. This little gem has become a well-loved staple in our home. Picture this – flaky crust, sausagey goodness, and that sneaky serving of spinach that claims you’re adulting. It’s a symphony of savory and sass, all wrapped up in one life-saving dish that’s ready to save your Tuesdays…or Sundays…or any day you need a rescue. Seriously, you gotta try it because it’s pretty much like inviting a cozy brunch hug into your kitchen.

Ah, the tales I could tell about this quiche in our family life. My husband, bless his heart, insists on having it twice a month – more if the fridge is miraculously well-stocked. Did I ever mention the time the toddler decided my slice looked better than hers and went full mom-bird mode on my breakfast? Yes, it’s that beloved. And then there’s the post-game ritual – yep, watching the game just got better in the Quiche Kingdom.

Why You’ll Love This Spinach Sausage Quiche

1. Perfect excuse to eat pie for breakfast. Who’s going to argue with a savory slice in the morning?
2. It’s forgiving – because look, sometimes you forget an ingredient, and no one’s got time for another store run.
3. It makes you feel like you’ve got your life together, even if you don’t remember what day it is.

How to Make It

Alright, grab your apron and prepare for the culinary chaos. Start by preheating your oven to whatever feels right. Nah, just kidding, it’s 375°F. Get your hands on some pie dough — store-bought, homemade, whatever floats your boat — and press that beauty into a pie dish. Sauté the sausage till it’s, you know, not raw and toss in your spinach until it wilts like my enthusiasm for laundry. Mix eggs, cream, and cheese in a mixing bowl until it kind of looks like yellow soup, then throw in the sausage-spinach magic. Pour the whole shebang into the pie crust, try your best not to spill, and bake until the center is firm-ish — you know the drill, 30-35 minutes. Mostly set? Good enough!

Ingredient Notes

– Pie Crust: Bought, made, whatever. Handles your filling and soaks up the love. Just make sure it’s not made of concrete.
– Sausage: Flavor star. Easily burns if you’re watching TikToks. I learn from my mistakes!
– Spinach: Wilts into almost nothing, which is great unless you bought way too much. Buy more than you think, trust me.

Recipe Steps

1. Preheat oven to 375°F.
2. Prepare pie crust in a dish.
3. Cook sausage until browned; add spinach until wilted.
4. Whisk eggs, cream, and cheese. Mix with sausage-spinach blend.
5. Pour mixture into crust.
6. Bake for 30-35 minutes until set in the middle.

What to Serve It With

This quiche pairs up like a charm with anything from fresh fruit salad to crusty breads. And if you’re feeling fancy, a side of roasted veggies will level you up. Or, just grab that ketchup bottle and go to town. No judgment here!

Tips & Mistakes

Don’t forget to grease your pie dish or your slice will be like that friend who overstays their welcome. And if you’re trying to improvise, well… just have courage in your convictions. Mistakes in cooking are just new flavor profiles, right?

Storage Tips

Got leftovers (which is bullishly optimistic with this dish)? Toss those slices in the fridge where they’ll hold up for a few days. Cold quiche is shockingly decent, trust me, and it practically begs to be breakfast the next morning.

Variations and Substitutions

Feel free to swap sausage for bacon or go meatless if that’s your jam. Throw in mushrooms or peppers if you’re feeling like nature’s bounty should shine. Skipping cheese? Who hurt you? But fine, it’s your meal…and your loss.
