An easy quiche recipe that you can assemble the night before and bake in the oven the morning you plan on making it for brunch or breakfast. Serve it with some fresh fruit or muffins on the side.
On Saturday and Sunday mornings you can catch me watching cooking shows on Food Network. It’s fun to test and try out new recipes from different Food Network chefs. I’ll also share the recipe on this blog with you guys if I think it’s worthy! Like this recipe for Country Quiche from Trisha Yearwood.
Trisha has been one of my favorites to follow for awhile now and I’m still watching her. I absolutely love this Country Quiche recipe and you can definitely make it ahead of time! Cook the sausage and let it cool them assemble the quiche. Place saran over it and set it in the fridge until you are ready to bake it the next morning. They make me think of Harry Potter and ButterBeer.
What Ingredients do I need?
In this section you can find substitutes or suggestions for certain ingredients. I also will try and list out what the ingredients' purpose is for.
Pork Sausage - Use your favorite flavorful sausage like spicy, hot, sweet, or mild for this recipe. Sub ground turkey sausage if you want to try lowering the calories

Eggs - use large eggs
Cheese - Extra sharp or mild cheddar
One pie crust already made, store bought if you can’t make it ahead of time.
How to make Country Quiche
To print the full recipe please see the recipe card below.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
In a large skillet, cook the sausage until browned and cooked through, about 10 minutes. Then remove with a slotted spoon and reserve.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk the baking powder, tomatoes and eggs together. Add the cooked sausage and the cheese to the egg mixture and stir together with a large spoon. Add salt and pepper and divide the mixture between both unbaked pie shells. Bake until the filling is set, about 30 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Cook’s Notes: To lighten up this quiche, use turkey sausage and egg substitute.
Garth likes this quiche with cheese tortellini. If you add tortellini, cover with egg or the pasta will burn when the quiche bakes.
