❤️WHY WE LOVE THIS RECIPE
We love how versatile this recipe is. You can add extra veggies or make it the way we have it written. You can switch up the cheese as well. Use a store-bought pie crust or make your own. This also reheats well and is great to enjoy for a few days.
🍴KEY INGREDIENTS
- Deep dish pie shell
- Pork sausage (I used Jimmy Dean’s mild pork sausage, you can use hot or whatever kind you like)
- Can chopped green chilis, drained
- Onion, chopped
- Green pepper, chopped
- Salsa
- Garlic
- Shredded cheese (I used Mexican cheese, you can use whatever you like)
- Eggs
- Sour cream
- Milk
- Black pepper
- Salt to taste
🍽️HOW TO MAKE
If you use a store-bought crust, you will take some of this recipe’s work. We like the Pillsbury ones that you roll out, so you can use your own pie plate.
COOKING STEPS
Step 1
In a skillet, fry the sausage and drain. Put the sausage in the bottom of the pie shell. In a mixing bowl, mix together the green chilis, onion, green pepper, garlic and salsa. Spread over sausage. Sprinkle the cheese on next.
Step 2
In the same bowl whisk together the milk, sour cream, eggs, salt and pepper. Pour over the cheese evenly. Bake in preheated 350 degree oven 45- 50 minutes until center of pie is done. Sprinkle extra cheese on top of hot pie if you want. Let cool before cutting.
⭐TIP
If you would like to make this quiche spicy, you can always use hot sausage and hot green chilies.

No you can’t taste the sour cream.
STORING AND REHEATING
We store this in the refrigerator and reheat a slice in the microwave. You don’t want the crust to get over cooked, which is why we don’t reheat it in the oven.

I love that when I read most of your recipes I already have the ingredients. This was easily made and we loved it. Perfect flavor!
So glad to hear this!! Yay!
I love making this, I change it up alot of the time, depending on what is in the fridge.
The salsa is a new twist for me, I love it. I use pepperjack on the bottom and chedder on the top. I use more eggs and less milk.
I’ve made this dozens of times. It is always a crowd favorite. I don’t change a thing. The recipe is perfect!
Can this be made ahead of time and/or frozen?
This is a fan favorite quiche in my home and at pot lucks. Easy and delicious! I wouldn’t change a thing…in fact I’m sure to keep all ingredients handy for a quick quiche when needed.
Yay!! That makes us so happy. We’re thrilled it’s a hit for you!
I just made this recipe a day ago. It was so good! So much flavor, comes together in no time. I am not an egg person, and my neighbor will not eat anything with onions in it. We all loved it. Thank you so much for all of your recipes.
So glad you enjoyed it! Thank you so much for the kind comment.
We had this for dinner last night without the crust (subbed heavy whipping cream and a little water for the milk). It was a big hit. We are definitely a “breakfast for dinner” family. 🙂
I am in love with your recipes and I love having your posts on my Facebook page. Most of your recipes are items that I keep on hand. So many times I have seen recipes that have ingredients that I am quite sure no one keeps on hand or costs an arm and a leg. Not to mention the ones that I have to google to find out what the heck it is. Thank you.
This looks amazing, I will try this for sure. Thank you so much.
Do you think you could make this ahead of time and freeze it ? I would love to make this for Christmas breakfast !
I have never tried freezing it, Janie. There is a great breakfast casserole I make for the holidays posted under Breakfast recipes that you can make ahead of time if you want to check it out.
Thank you I will go and look, I am having my knee replaced next month and don’t know how great I will feel by Christmas so I am trying to make and freeze a few things to make things easier for my family to just pop in the oven on Christmas Day.
Whenever I want to go crustless, I just add 1/4 cup bisquick to the recipe….mix and bake. Works like a charm on any of these recipes I’ve found.
Do you cook the pie crust first?
No, you don’t cook the pie crust first.
From George B. I love Quiche and I make a Zucchini Quiche without a crust and was wondering if these can be made without a crust?
I have never tried it that way George just because I like the crust on it.
I was thinking I’d prefer biscuits instead of the pie crust, George. 🙂
I have been making all of my Quiche without crust for over 10 years. They always come out just fine.
