This Southern Sausage Cheddar Quiche recipe makes a quick and easy breakfast recipe. Ready and on the table in 30 minutes, it is a Southern update to a classic!
Like everyone else I know, mornings are always busy around our house – even on the weekends! That’s when I turn to recipes like this Southern Sausage Cheddar Quiche recipe! Made with a simple cream biscuit crust, it is out of this world delicious and a definite family favorite!
To make it, I begin with my two ingredient cream biscuit recipe as the crust. You can’t get much simpler than two ingredients for a delicious crust like this one! For this biscuit dough, I use White Lily® self-rising flour. Made with soft winter wheat, it makes light, fluffy and delicious biscuits and works like a charm in this quiche crust!
Once you have your dough mixed together, you press the dough into the bottom of a medium skillet and up the sides of the skillet about two inches.
Next, I brown my sausage and add to the biscuit dough. Then, top with the grated cheddar cheese.
And then you’ll whisk together the eggs, milk, salt and pepper and pour over the sausage and cheddar.
And then pop it into the oven to bake until the eggs have set and cooked through, about 20 minutes.
Remove from the oven and let rest for a minute or so before slicing.
I know, it sure is hard to wait!
Here’s my Southern Sausage Cheddar Quiche Recipe. I hope you enjoy it!
- 2 tablespoons butter, softened

Robyn, I made this last night. I added a touch of onion and it was delicious! Since we are empty nesters, we have plenty left over for Saturday morning brunch. Thanks for sharing another great recipe!

Curious if this could be made the night before. Looks wonderful!
Hi Michells,
I love to make this the night before! I think it turns out best if you go ahead and bake it, cool completely, then refrigerate. Just reheat the next morning when you get ready to serve it. I hope you enjoy it! Thanks! xo
I’m wondering if this work in a glass pie plate since I don’t have an iron skillet. What do you think?
Thanks!

Anything with cheddar sparks my attention, and I must say I never tried any quiche recipe this delicious before. This tastes heavenly! Thank you for sharing the recipe!
Thanks so much, Donna! I’m thrilled that you enjoyed it! xo
This breakfast reminds me of childhood. My grandma is from Alabama and my favorite breakfast she made was biscuits and gravy. The combo of biscuits and sausage will always remind me of her. I love your take on classic breakfast food. My kids would love it 😋
