Meat Quiche

Mom’s Special Sausage Breakfast Quiche

Growing up, my mom served this quiche for Christmas brunch. She always made it with Swiss cheese, evaporated milk, and sausage, and we all LOVED it!

As a child, I always categorized this as a “special” meal. I was pleasantly surprised once I got old enough to cook and realized it was much easier to make than I had imagined!

Once I started paying my own grocery bills, I appreciated it even more – it relies on basic ingredients that don’t cost a fortune.

Sausage and Cheese Quiche Variations

Meat Potato Quiche is completely flexible. You can use any kind of leftover meat, or substitute chopped cooked vegetables for a vegetarian version.

Feel free to mix up the cheeses, or add extra milk and eggs to stretch it a little further.

How to Serve Potato Quiche

If you are hosting brunch over the holidays, this is a fabulous recipe to include. You can even make it up the night before and wait to cook it until the next morning – freeing up your kitchen time to do other things.

It can also be made even further in advance and frozen, either cooked or uncooked. It doesn’t get much easier when it comes to “fancy” holiday cooking! 🙂

Sausage Breakfast Quiche Ingredients

• 3 cups shredded potatoes (either grate your own or use packaged hashbrowns)
• 3 Tablespoons oil or melted butter
• 1-2 cups grated Swiss or cheddar cheese (my Mom always used Swiss)
• ¾ cup cooked browned sausage (or any kind of cooked diced meat)
• 1 cup evaporated or rich milk (you can just use whatever milk you normally buy as well)
• 2 eggs (I use 4, but we like eggs around here!)
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1/8 teaspoon pepper
• 1 Tablespoon parsley flakes

How to Make Meat Quiche

1. Preheat oven to 425º.

2. Grease a 9-inch pie plate and set aside.

3. In a medium bowl, mix grated potatoes with oil or butter and press evenly into a pie crust shape.

4. Bake this “crust” in preheated oven for 15 minutes, or just until it begins to brown.

5. Remove crust from the oven and layer on the cheese and meat.

6. In a bowl, beat eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. Pour this mixture on top of the other ingredients and sprinkle with parsley.

7. Bake for 30-45 minutes, or until knife inserted 1-inch from edge comes out clean.

8. Let cool for 5 minutes before cutting into wedges.
