Cheesy Sausage Cornbread Quiche

Two kinds of cheese, savory sausage, eggs, and tender cornbread are all baked together for an unexpected dish that’s amazing! Cheesy Sausage Cornbread Quiche is ideal when you’re feeding a crowd for breakfast and it’s great for brunch, lunch or a special dinner with friends. Cheesy Sausage Cornbread Quiche made with cheddar cheese, Parmesan, breakfast sausage, cornbread, eggs, half and half and seasoned perfectly is so easy to make! It's great for breakfast, brunch, lunch or dinner. Ā  A couple of weeks ago, I got a call from a good friend asking for some recipe help. Tommy, whose family owns Neese’s Sausage was in need of a few ideas for using their homemade sausage. This delicious sausage is famous in these parts and most everyone I know grew up on it. After chatting about some ideas, Tommy dropped off some packages for me to experiment with and I’m sure you can appreciate what happened next…I got to work! This task was a labor of love. I really enjoy creating new recipes for my family, friends and A Southern Soul. I really, really enjoy this process when I’m using great ingredients. I’d been toying with a new quiche recipe so when I got a package of Neese’s sausage, I knew I had to make something good happen.Ā  Cheesy Sausage Cornbread Quiche is a new take on the traditional quiche recipes you know. It’s crustless since the cornbread turns into somewhat of a deconstructed crust that runs throughout the whole dish. It’s loaded with cheddar and Parmesan cheese, eggs and is seasoned perfectly. It’s a savory pie that takes very little effort to make and I promise, once you make it, you’ll be blown away with how good it is.

What’s In Cheesy Sausage Cornbread Quiche?

This recipe is so easy to make because you probably have 90% of the ingredients on hand. Each element is simple yet when combined they turn into something incredible! Here’s what you’ll need :

  • Sausage
  • Cornbread Bread Mix
  • Cheddar Cheese
  • Parmesan Cheese
  • Eggs
  • Half and Half
  • Chives
  • Garlic
  • Nutmeg
  • Salt and Pepper

How To Make This Recipe

To pull this recipe together, first, you’ll need to make the cornbread. I use Jiffy Cornbread Mix that comes in a box. Make it according to the package direction, let it cool and cut it into cubes. Cook the sausage, breaking it up with a wooden spoon into small pieces then drain it on paper towels.Ā  Next, it’s time to whisk up the eggs. Add-in the half and half, chives, garlic, nutmeg, salt and, pepper. Grate the cheddar and Parmesan and add it to the eggs and stir.Ā  To a large bowl, add the cornbread and sausage then pour in the eggs and cheese mixture. Gently mix all the ingredients together then pour into a deep-dish pie plate that’s been sprayed with non-stick spray. Bake for 45 minutes until the middle is set and the top is golden brown. That’s it! Your masterpiece is done.

How To Reheat Cheesy Sausage Cornbread Quiche

If you’ve made this recipe ahead of time, you can reheat it in the oven. Wrap it in foil and place in a 350-degree oven for about 10-15 minutes until the center is hot. For a quick way to heat up a slice of quiche, you can use the microwave. That’s what Mr. SS does when he gets impatient and has to have some immediately. Put the slice on a microwave-safe plate and heat for 15 to 20 seconds until heated through.

Can I Substitute Different Cheese?

You bet. You can use Colby Jack, Monterrey or even Pepper Jack. If you don’t have Parmesan cheese, just skip it and increase the amount of the other cheese you are adding.

    This looks great. Would you say you taste more of the cornbread than the eggs?

      Hey Melissa!
      It’s actually the perfect combination of both. You get the cornbread, sausage and cheesy eggs in every bite.
      Enjoy!

          Hey there Nancy!
          I couldn’t agree with you more, there’s just something special about Neese’s Sausage! This brand of sausage is actually local to where I live, the owner’s children went to high school with my son, so their sausage is my go-to for all of my recipes! Thank you so much for your interest in this quiche and for your fantastic rating, I hope you enjoy the recipe!
