How to Make Sausage Cheddar Quiche Recipe
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!
Once you have the 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 to slice into this cheesy delicious quiche!
What to Serve with It?
Since this quiche is a meal in itself, it really doesn’t require a whole lot to serve with it. But I do enjoy serving these sides with this recipe!

When To Serve This Quiche?
I enjoy serving this anytime, but it really is a great food to make ahead anytime you want for a special breakfast or brunch. I’ve served this for holidays and weekends with just my family or when we have guests. It’s perfect to serve at a brunch party, such as a shower. Add one of the fresh sides listed previously for a meal everyone always loves!

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!
I’m glad you liked it Dianne! I am always glad when I have some leftover to make another meal time a little easier! Thanks so much! xo
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!

Hi Carla,
It should be fine as long as your glass dish is oven safe. I hope you enjoy the quiche – it’s delicious! 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 ?
Memories of our grandmothers’ food always has a special place, don’t they? I’m happy you are giving this a try. Thanks so much!
Can I use GF all purpose flour?
Hi Nancy,
For this recipe, you will need self-rising flour if you make the two-ingredient biscuit recipe for the crust. If you don’t have gluten free self-rinsing flour, you can make it using my recipe for Homemade Self-Rising Flour. Be sure to add a gluten free baking powder to your gluten free all-purpose flour to make it, though. Hope you this helps!
Do you think I could use half and half in the crust instead of heavy cream? This looks delish.
Hollie,
There would not be enough fat for the crust if you used half and half.
Birthday breakfast winner!
I’m so happy this worked out so well for the birthday breakfast, Emerald. Thanks!
