Why You Will Like This Recipe
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.
I've also made this quiche many times. You might also like this one from Paula Deen Hash Brown Quiche. These are both perfect to make for a brunch gathering.
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 for Country Quiche?
- 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. Can also sub lean ground beef instead of sausage.
- Baking Powder - is a leavening agent used in many baked goods, such as cakes, muffins, and biscuits. It is made up of a combination of baking soda, cream of tartar, and sometimes cornstarch
- Grape Tomatoes - cut in half
- Eggs - The best type of eggs you can buy at the store are organic or free-range eggs, while others may prefer eggs from specific breeds of chickens
- Cheese - I like to use Reduced-Fat Cheese because it has a lower calorie count and less saturated fat than regular cheese, but it may also have a different taste and texture. It also helps with keeping the calorie count pretty low for this recipe.
- One pie crust already made, store bought if you can’t make it ahead of time.
- See the recipe card below for a full list of ingredients and measurements.
Substitution Tips
If you don't have a store-bought pie crust you can make a home made pie crust like this one Perfect Pie Crust Ina Garten
You can also use large tortillas instead of pie crust try out this recipe Weight Watchers Tortilla Quiche Bake (Tiktok Recipe)

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.
