Sausage Quiche Recipe
If you love the comfort of a traditional Quiche Lorraine, you’ll love this twist on a classic quiche. This Sausage Asparagus Quiche is so satisfying and perfect for brunch! Think: Mother’s Day, or Sunday Funday! This is so much better than going out for breakfast.
The flourless potato crust is naturally gluten-free, and if you’re lucky enough to have leftovers, quiche reheats really well! The addition of TABASCO® Sauce gives the quiche just the right amount of mild heat and wonderful peppery flavor.

Serve with more hot sauce of course. In my ridiculous obsession with that tempting little bottle of hotness, we actually have a TABASCO® Sauce category on our site (don’t laugh).
Ingredients for Sausage Quiche
1 1/2 lbs (or 5 medium) russet potatoes
12 oz Breakfast Sausage, casings removed
1/2 medium onion, (1 cup finely diced)
6 large eggs, divided
1 1/2 cups half and half (or use 3/4 cup milk + 3/4 cup heavy cream)
1 cup Mexican Cheese blend
2 Tbsp parsley, finely chopped

What is the Best Sausage for Quiche?
We used a classic, original-flavored breakfast sausage. You can use your favorite brand. I would avoid sweet-flavored sausage since that may not meld well with eggs. If casings are present, remove them before cooking.
What You Will Need
For this recipe, all you need is a 9″ deep pie dish – we prefer a ceramic pie dish, but glass will also work if you can get a deep one.

How To Make Sausage Asparagus Quiche
-
Peel and grate potatoes and squeeze out excess moisture with your hands then squeeze dry with 2 paper towels. Transfer dried potatoes to mixing bowl and add 1 egg, 1 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Quickly stir together until well combined then press into the buttered pie dish, molding the potatoes evenly over the bottom and all the way up the sides of the dish. Bake right away uncovered at 425˚F for 30 min. Remove from oven and decrease temperature to 350˚F.
-
Meanwhile, in a large skillet over medium/high heat, add breakfast sausage and sauté, breaking it up with a spatula, just until cooked through (5 mins). Add diced onion and sauté 5 min or until golden and sausage is starting to brown. Remove from heat and let cool while making egg mixture.
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine 5 eggs, 1 1/2 cups half and half, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp black pepper, 1/4 tsp garlic powder, and 2 tsp TABASCO® Sauce** then whisk together until combined. Stir in 1 cup cheese, 2 Tbsp parsley, 1 Tbsp dill and the cooked sausage mixture. Pour mixture over prepared potato crust.
-
Arrange sliced asparagus pieces over the top and bake uncovered at 350˚F for 55 to 60 minutes or until the center is set and no longer wobbles when you give the pan a jolt.
*Once salt touches potatoes, they will start to release more moisture so bake your crust right away.
**It’s a good idea to give your hot sauce a good shake before using to to get the perfect blend of flavor and spice.
I hope you all have a wonderful Mother’s Day!
