Sausage Quiche Recipe
If you love the comfort of a traditional Quiche Lorraine, you’ll love this twist on a classic quiche. This Sausage Asparagus Quiche is so satisfying and perfect for brunch! Think: Mother’s Day, or Sunday Funday! This is so much better than going out for breakfast.
The flourless potato crust is naturally gluten-free, and if you’re lucky enough to have leftovers, quiche reheats really well! The addition of TABASCO® Sauce gives the quiche just the right amount of mild heat and wonderful peppery flavor.

Serve with more hot sauce of course. In my ridiculous obsession with that tempting little bottle of hotness, we actually have a TABASCO® Sauce category on our site (don’t laugh).

Ingredients for Sausage Quiche
1 1/2 lbs (or 5 medium) russet potatoes
12 oz Breakfast Sausage, casings removed
1/2 medium onion, (1 cup finely diced)
6 large eggs, divided
1 1/2 cups half and half (or use 3/4 cup milk + 3/4 cup heavy cream)
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

What is the Best Sausage for Quiche?
We used a classic, original-flavored breakfast sausage. You can use your favorite brand. I would avoid sweet-flavored sausage since that may not meld well with eggs. If casings are present, remove them before cooking.
What You Will Need
For this recipe, all you need is a 9″ deep pie dish – we prefer a ceramic pie dish, but glass will also work if you can get a deep one.

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 breakfast sausage and sauté, breaking it up with a spatula, 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
**It’s a good idea to give your hot sauce a good shake before using to to get the perfect blend of flavor and spice.

I hope you all have a wonderful Mother’s Day!
I am not able to print any of your recipes. I print recipes from numerous other sites but not from yours. Is there something I need to download first?
Frances, the print-friendly is on every recipe. You can find yellow print button on the top right of every recipe or scroll down towards the end of the recipe where you will find the print-friendly section and a print button.
Have tried repeatedly to print from your site. I hit the print button, my print screen comes up and it does nothing. I don’t have a problem printing from any other site but yours and I love your recipes!
Hi Frances, can you tell me which browser and which device (desktop, ipad, phone) you are using and which print button you are clicking on my site (the one towards the top or the bottom where the print-friendly recipe is) and when you click on the print button, are you not able to see this page: https://natashaskitchen.com/easyrecipe-print/48914-0/ Once that pops up, you need to click file and print for the print options screen to pop up. I’m not able to duplicate this issue but if you could give me some more details, it could help pinpoint the problem.
Natasha, I am using an HP desktop, HP Envy printer with Microsoft Edge browser. 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. And this only happens on your page. I have printed tons of recipes form other pages with no problems. I’m confused!
Hi Frances, I really have no idea to be honest. Have you tried printing at work or anywhere else to see if it is a printer issue? 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. Sorry I can’t be more helpful!
Hi, Natasha, love your recipes and especially the videos and pictures! Keep up the good work!
Could I make the recipe with the same amount of potatoes in a 11” pie dish?
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.
Hi, Natasha, I managed to make it in the right dish 🙂 didn’t have asparagus so put some yellow bell pepper. It came out delicious! All the ingredients work out very well together! Thank you for your efforts in making cooking a real pleasure!
Next step – dare to make one of the beautiful cakes (or more) 🙂
I’m so happy you loved it!! I really enjoyed it with bell peppers also – they add really nice flavor to the dish. Thank you for the wonderful review!
I have an asparagus patch so I am always looking for recipes! This one is fabulous. I had a enough potatoes to do a 9×13 pan so I added a bit more veggies to the sauté and it came out perfect! My family loved it. And there was a little left over for my husbands lunch the next day. So appreciate finding this site! I will visit often for new ideas!
I’m glad everyone enjoys the quiche recipe! Thanks for sharing your fantastic review and please let me know what you think of the other recipes Kathleen!
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.
Can you bake this and then freeze it for reheat later? I’m looking for some make-ahead brunch ideas and this quiche would fit the bill if I didn’t have to prepare the whole dish that morning.
Hi there, I haven’t tried freezing but I know the cooked quiche does reheat well the next day. I found some great advice on the best way to freeze a quiche on the Kitchen’s website. The first response sounds promising 🙂 I hope that helps!!
Great quiche! Our family enjoyed this. Only I baked mine in a springform pan, so it looked like a cheesecake :). And only did about 3/4 tsp. of the Tabasco which was the perfect amount of heat for us. And I also added some red bell pepper for color👍🏻.
YUM! I’m glad you like the recipe! Thanks for sharing your thoughtful review Marina 😀
Natasha , I have been following your recipes for quite a while . I have made pretty many dishes from your blog . I had left some comments before always positive;) . You are into something (ONE OF THE BEST BLOGS). Congrats !!!!! I have a very picky hubby and of course the crowd who comes to hang out with us! So far none of your recipies let me down . Superb job!!!!
My second comment regarding the quiche . You were right probably the amount of Tabasco should be reduced . Otherwise it’s really worth trying . I have been having it for breakfast for couple days . Amazing even if it’s slightly salty and spicy . Still great!!!!!
You’re so sweet Tasha, it means a lot! Thanks for following and leaving such a thoughtful review!
Can’t wait till you publish a nice cookbook ;)……
That’s definitely something I want to consider in the future! 🙂
I did chlula it’s great!
This was so yummy and easy. I did use 1 tsp Tabasco and it was perfect. Thank you!!
I’m so happy you enjoyed it!! 🙂
This looks gorgeous!!
Thank you Sara! It is so delcious too! Please let me know what you think!
This looks delicious! Need to try it soon.
It is amazing! Please let me know what you think Katherine!
Looks delicious. I am going to make the quiche. Thank you for all your lovely recipes. You inspire me to make food.
You’re so welcome Priscilla! Thanks for following and please let me know what you think of the quiche!
I am just learning to like “hot and spicy” recipes so I am looking forward to trying this one. It sounds delicious.
You’ll love it! Please let me know what you think!
I made this dish yesterday and it was on a salty side (crust) and just a bit spicy. Next time I would definitely reduce the salt may be to a 1tsp for the whole recipe. Other than that the dish was very good!
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.
I made it too and experienced the same what has been described by Gennadiy. Will try to make it again with less salt and less Tabasco .
Looks amazing! I usually do “fancy” breakfast on Saturday and Sunday for the family and I can’t wait to make it this weekend!!
Question: any way I can prep this the night before and bake in the morning? Seems like this is time consuming and I have a son and a husband who are hangry in the morning 😉 lol!
Svetlana, you can pre-bake the crust and make the egg mixture in the evening. In the morning combine the two and bake. Hope this helps. It also works great with using colored bell peppers.
Hi. I’d like to make this quiche but am getting push-back from family members on the asparagus. Could I use broccoli or some other vegetable?
Diane, I have tried this recipe with colored bell pepper and it was just as good.
Could I take a short cut and buy the shredded hash browns in a bag?
Also, how much do you taste the Tabasco sauce? Some family members don’t really like much heat.
Hi Karen, it is fairly subtle so if you have folks that don’t like spice, you could easily cut it in half without sacrificing too much flavor. Shredded hash browns would work fine for this recipe :). I hope you all love it!!
I’m wondering if I might use Ore Ida hash brown potatoes for the crust?
Sally, I think that would work just fine and make a nice short cut.
I am looking forward to making this recipe!!! I love all the ingredients and it looks quite hearty!! I enjoy your videos of instruction and look forward to seeing more recipes!! Keep up the great work!!
Thank you so much Sandra for your thoughtful comment. It really means so much to us! I’m so glad you are enjoying the videos and recipes 🙂
This is going right on my to-do list!! I love the combination of ingredients. Oh and your videos are my favorite!
I hope you LOVE it! And I’m so glad you enjoy our videos 🙂 🙂 🙂
This looks so good! Definitely going to TRY and make it 🙂
You’ll love it Hayley! Please let me know what you think!
Hi Natasha,
I am interested in making this quiche recipe but am wondering if I could leave the sausage out and make it a vegetarian quiche?
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 🙂
