Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 1 hour 30 minutes
Total Time: 1 hour 45 minutes

Ingredients 

Servings: 9 " Quiche
  • 1 1/2 lbs or 5 medium russet potatoes
  • 12 oz Smithfield Fresh Breakfast Sausage, Hometown Original
  • 1/2 medium onion, finely diced
  • 6 large eggs, divided
  • 1 1/2 cups half and half
  • 1 cup Mexican Cheese blend
  • 2 Tbsp parsley, finely chopped
  • 1 Tbsp dill, finely chopped
  • 2 tsp TABASCO® Sauce
  • 1 1/2 tsp sea salt, divided
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper, divided
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 8 oz asparagus, ends removed and cut into thirds

Instructions

Prep:

  • Preheat oven to 425˚F. Generously butter a 9" pie dish.

How To Make Sausage Asparagus Quiche

  • Peel and grate potatoes and squeeze out excess moisture with your hands then squeeze dry with 2 paper towels. Transfer dried potatoes to mixing bowl and add 1 egg, 1 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Quickly stir together until well combined then press into the buttered pie dish, molding the potatoes evenly over the bottom and all the way up the sides of the dish. Bake right away uncovered at 425˚F for 30 min. Remove from oven and decrease temperature to 350˚F.
  • Meanwhile in a large skillet over medium/high heat, add Smithfield Fresh Breakfast Sausage and sauté just until cooked through (5 mins). Add diced onion and sauté 5 min or until golden and sausage is starting to brown. Remove from heat and let cool while making egg mixture.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine 5 eggs, 1 1/2 cups half and half, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp black pepper, 1/4 tsp garlic powder, and 2 tsp TABASCO® Sauce** then whisk together until combined. Stir in 1 cup cheese, 2 Tbsp parsley, 1 Tbsp dill and the cooked sausage mixture. Pour mixture over prepared potato crust.
  • Arrange sliced asparagus pieces over the top and bake uncovered at 350˚F for 55 to 60 minutes or until the center is set and no longer wobbles when you give the pan a jolt.

Notes

*Once salt touches potatoes, they will start to release more moisture so bake your crust right away.
**Give your TABASCO® Sauce a good shake before using to to get the perfect blend of flavor and spice.

    You mentioned quiche reheats nicely. I do not have a lot of experience with making quiche. I would like to make this for an after church brunch, which will not allow much prep time before the meal. Do you think if I make the quiche the day before that the entire pie will reheat nicely? If so, what temperature do you suggest for reheating this?

    Reply

    • Natasha
      April 20, 2019

      Hi Ruchnik, with egg recipes and quiches, I do think they taste best fresh, but you can reheat it in the oven if you want to fully cook it the day before. I would suggest refrigerating overnight then bring it to room temperature for an hour or so before baking. Cover with foil and bake in a preheated oven at 350˚F for about 15 minutes or until well heated through. If you want to check the temperature, you can bring it to about 165˚F.

      Hi Kathy, I haven’t tested it that way so it is difficult to guess. If you have to substitute, maybe use slightly less milk since it is thinner so hopefully it will still set properly.

      Hi Erika, dill weed is just the dry version of dill but if you are using dry dill, for every 1 Tbsp of fresh dill called for in the recipe, you should be using 1 tsp of dried dill. Also, could it have been a different variation of sausage that didn’t meld well in the recipe?

Yes, I see the link after I click the print button on the first page, then when I click print on my printer page it will start to print but will automatically stop printing and release a blank page from the printer.

Also, I would suggest making sure your browser is up to date. I really am not sure why that is happening and I haven’t gotten any other reports so I’m not sure it’s widespread issue.

      May 30, 2017

      Hi Ginka, I think you could but you might not be ale to get the potatoes all the way up the sides which is ok since the quiche will be flatter anyways using a wider dish. Also, I would bake the crust the same amount of time but the overall quiche may bake faster since it won’t be as tall/thick.

      Kathleen when you made this in a 9 x 13 pan did you increase the number of other ingredients other than adding more veggies? I’m searching for Easter brunch ideas and I came across this recipe. I’ve liked all of the Natasha’s recipes that I’ve made. We’ll have 11 people so a 9 x 13 dish will feed more people than a round pie dish.

      Hi Gennadiy, I’m glad you enjoyed it!! You could cut the Tabasco down to half without sacrificing flavor if you like things a little less spicy and it would reduce the saltiness slightly also to cut it down since there is salt in the Tabasco.

      Hi Debra, the sausage adds really great flavor but that would still work without it to make it vegetarian. I would suggest adding something else to fill it in – mushrooms would probably work really well to give it that “meaty” consistency and extra flavor 🙂
