Sausage, Spinach, and Gouda Quiche

This quiche is so dang gouda.

HAHAHA okay I should probably never post again because while it is probably the worst opening line ever– you probably are also not surprised that it is my opening line.

   

I made this quiche for the first time when my in-laws were in town and we all demolished it. Then there was a baby shower at work that I brought it in for. I got caught up in patient care that I didn’t get to go to the break room for food until later and I realized it had also been demolished.

Moral of the story: this quiche is good.

I love a good Florentine quiche but adding sausage to make it extra decadent just sends it over the top! And using Gouda which just melts so perfectly? I could eat this every day.

Sausage, Spinach, and Gouda Quiche

Ingredients

  • 1 frozen pie crust or 1 pie dough disk
  • 6 eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 lb mild italian sausage
  • 2 cups raw baby spinach
  • 1/2 yellow onion chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 cups gouda cheese shredded
  • hot sauce (optional)
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Bake the frozen pie crust (or rolled pie dough disk into a pie dish) at 400 for 5 minutes. Remove from oven and then lower the temperature to 350.

  2. In a pan, cook the sausage over medium heat until browned. Set the sausage aside while leaving the grease in the pan

  3. Add the onion and garlic to the pan with remaining sausage grease and cook until the garlic is fragrant and the onions are translucent (about 5 minutes). Add spinach and cook until it is wilted (about 1-3 minutes).

  4. In a bowl, crack the eggs and add milk, hot sauce (if desired), salt and pepper (to taste)

  5. Add the sausage into the pie crust and add 1/2 cup of the Gouda cheese on top.

  6. Add a layer of the veggies and the remaining 1/2 cup of Gouda cheese.

  7. Lastly, pour the egg mixture on top.

  8. Place the quiche into the oven and cook for 45-60 minutes or until the center is set.

  9. Remove from the oven and let cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.

Recipe Notes

Place the pie dish on a baking sheet when you put it into the oven to make it much easier to grab out of the oven!
