Simple Sausage Quiche (or bacon) is easy to prepare. It will quickly become a favorite for everyone. Level up your breakfast with a flaky pie crust loaded with eggs, meat, and cheese.
I have been making this recipe since the early days of my marriage. This was almost always on our menu for breakfast or brunch in those days. I experiment so often in the kitchen now that we have not had this in a while. Our sons didn't have it before making it this time. It quickly became a recipe which is requested to have again and I don't mind since it is so yummy and easy to make. Leave a comment and let me know how you like it!

Top Tips
- Any type of breakfast meat (ham, sausage, bacon, turkey sausage, chicken sausage, turkey bacon) can be used with the recipe or no meat at all.
- Add in any other veggies you would like, such as peppers, mushrooms, spinach, etc.
- Use your favorite cheese-cheddar, mozzarella, swiss, colby, monterey jack, pepper jack, etc.
- I am adding parsley to the egg mixture, which goes to the top of the quiche. You can also top it with tomatoes or green onions.
- The more vegetables you add, adjust the size of your pie crust. I am using a 9" traditional, but you would want a 9" deep dish for extra veggies or in case of spilling the egg mixture.
- Store the quiche in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
