Why You’ll Love This Roasted Red Pepper And Sausage Quiche

This dish is not just delicious—it’s practical. It can be prepped in advance and served hot or cold. Ideal for entertaining or weekly meal prep, it reheats like a dream and still tastes amazing. The flavors marry beautifully, making each slice better than the last.

It’s also incredibly versatile. You can swap sausage for turkey, add spinach or mushrooms, or even go crustless for a low-carb version.

What Kind of Crust Should I Use?

You can use a store-bought pie crust to save time or make your own if you’re feeling adventurous. A deep-dish crust works best here to hold all the savory goodness. Blind baking (pre-baking the crust for about 10 minutes) helps prevent sogginess and keeps everything crisp.

How To Make the Roasted Red Pepper And Sausage Quiche

Step 1: Preheat and Prep the Crust

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place your pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish and crimp the edges. Blind bake for 10 minutes, then set aside to cool.

Step 2: Cook the Sausage

In a skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until browned and fully cooked. Drain any excess fat and let it cool slightly.

Step 3: Whisk the Filling

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, half-and-half, salt, and pepper until well combined and frothy.

Step 4: Assemble the Quiche

Spread the cooked sausage evenly over the baked crust. Add the chopped roasted red peppers and sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top.

Step 5: Pour and Bake

Carefully pour the egg mixture over the fillings in the crust. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes or until the center is set and the top is golden.

Step 6: Cool and Garnish

Let the quiche cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
