Southwestern Sausage Quiche - great for breakfast, lunch or dinner!! Can make ahead and freeze unbaked for later! Sausage, cheddar cheese, Rotel, eggs, taco seasoning, sour cream, milk, and pie crust. I always have to double the recipe! Gone in a flash!! #quiche #breakfast #brunch #dinner
In a large skillet, cook sausage until well browned, stirring frequently. Drain off grease and set aside.
Spread cooked sausage in bottom of pie crust. Top with shredded cheese and Rotel diced tomatoes and green chiles.
Whisk together taco seasoning, eggs, sour cream, and milk. Season with salt and pepper. Pour over sausage mixture in the pie crust.
Bake 1 hour. Allow quiche to rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.
Notes:
I used Jimmy Dean sausage in this recipe.
You can use any type of cheese that you prefer.

I did not thaw or prebake the crust prior to adding the filling.
Is Southwestern Sausage Quiche spicy? We did not think this dish was spicy. If you are worried about the heat, use a can of Mild Rotel diced tomatoes and green chiles.
Can quiche be made in advance? Yes! You can assemble the quiche and refrigerate it overnight. I like to make the filling and pour it into the crust right before baking.
Can sausage quiche be frozen? Yes! You can freeze the quiche baked or unbaked.
To freeze the baked quiche, let the quiche thaw completely and wrap tightly with plastic wrap and aluminum foil. The quiche will keep up to 3 months in the freezer.
To freeze the unbaked quiche, assemble the quiche and transfer it to the freezer. Once the quiche is frozen, tightly wrap in plastic wrap and aluminum foil. To bake, thaw completely and bake as directed.
