- In a skillet, cook the pork sausage until browned and cooked through.
- In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs and milk together.
- Add salt and pepper to the egg mixture.
- Spread the cooked sausage evenly in the pre-baked pie shell.
- Pour the egg mixture over the sausage.

Tips & Substitutions
For a twist, consider adding sautéed vegetables like spinach or bell peppers to enhance flavor and nutrition. If you're short on time, you can use pre-cooked sausage or even a meat alternative. Ensure the pie shell is well-pricked to avoid bubbling. For a lighter quiche, substitute half-and-half for the milk or use egg whites.
Serving Suggestions
This quiche is perfect for brunch and pairs beautifully with a light salad, such as the Isaacson Family Potato Salad, or fresh fruit. Serve with a dollop of sour cream or a sprinkle of fresh herbs for added flavor. It can also be enjoyed at room temperature, making it great for picnics or potlucks.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover quiche in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply place slices in the oven at 350°F for about 15-20 minutes, or until heated through. You can also microwave individual portions for a quick option, but the oven will help maintain the crust's texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of cheese?
Absolutely! Feel free to substitute with your favorite cheeses, such as feta, Swiss, or even a spicy pepper jack for a kick. Just keep in mind that different cheeses may alter the flavor and texture slightly.
How do I know when the quiche is done?
The quiche is done when the filling is set and no longer jiggly in the center. The cheese should be golden and bubbly. If you're unsure, a toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean.
Can I make this quiche ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the quiche a day in advance. Assemble it as directed, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate. Bake it fresh the next day for the best results. Alternatively, you can bake and then reheat; just be mindful of keeping the crust crisp.
