Spicy Andouille Sausage Quiche and Roasted Potatoes is the perfect choice for your next holiday brunch or gathering. Don’t forget the Mimosas!
What’s not to love about Brunch?? Breakfast and Lunch foods served together, late morning/early afternoon grazing, gathering of family and friends and Champagne!
Quiche has always been one of my “go to” dishes to serve at a brunch. Not only is it simple to make (and delicious) but it allows time to mingle with family and friends while it is cooking. Roasted potatoes are also part of keeping it simple.
To round out the meal, I usually serve some fresh sliced fruit, smoked salmon with cream cheese, some kind of meat (bacon or ham), fresh pastries from the local bakery and Champagne or Prosecco. Most of which can be prepped and plated ahead of time.
Quiche is not only simple to prepare but is also very versatile. As long as you use the basic recipe ingredients (eggs, milk, seasonings), you can change up the filling ingredients to anything you like. I decided to spice up this recipe a bit by adding Cajun Andouille sausage but you can use any kind of meat, veggie and cheese combination that you like.
How to make Spicy Andouille Sausage Quiche:
First, blend together the ingredients for the crust and press evenly into the bottom of a casserole dish. Bake for 15 minutes at 350 degrees F.
While that’s baking saute’ the vegetables and sausage until the veggies are tender. Once the crust has been par-baked, top with the sausage and vegetable mixture.
Then layer on that yummy cheese!
Pour the egg custard mixture over the whole thing and bake for 35 minutes. or until the middle is set.
Remove quiche from the oven and let it rest 5-10 minutes before serving. Cut into 12 even squares and serve with the roasted potatoes.

January 29, 2024 at 10:10 pmWow this looks lovely and delicious! hmmm… so I am not a sausage person, but am making (trying to make) something for an Italian sausage lover – a “non-spinach nor mushroom quiche” to be exact – would this recipe work with spicy Italian sausage or only the Andouille?

January 30, 2024 at 7:35 pmTHANK YOU, ANGELA! Quiche turned out great! Made the 8 serving size with 1 lb of spicy Italian sausage and 5 large eggs in an extra deep 10″ circular pie pan! Recipient had only compliments and left thinking it would not be shared after I told him I froze extra pieces of my GF spinach-mushroom quiches individually wrapped in foil and then reheated in the toaster oven. 😉 Thank you so much for your prompt reply, which made this possible!
