Mini Sausage Quiches: Easy and Delicious Recipe

These Mini Sausage Quiches are savory, bite-sized delights featuring a buttery crust filled with seasoned breakfast sausage, melted cheddar cheese, and a fluffy egg custard. Perfect for brunch, parties, or meal-prep breakfasts.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound breakfast sausage, casings removed
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 cup diced bell peppers (optional)
  • 1/2 cup diced onions (optional)
  • 1 package (1 sheet) refrigerated pie crusts or phyllo dough

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a standard muffin tin with cooking spray or butter.
  2. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage until browned and crumbled. Drain excess grease and let cool.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Fold in bell peppers and onions if using.
  4. Roll out the pie crust on a floured surface. Use a 3-inch round cutter to cut out circles.
  5. Press each dough circle into the bottom and sides of the muffin tin cups.
  6. Distribute the cooked sausage into each crust, then top with shredded cheddar cheese.
  7. Pour the egg mixture into each cup until about three-quarters full.
  8. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until the eggs are set and the tops are golden brown.
  9. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes before removing. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • To save time, you can use pre-cooked sausage crumbles.
  • If using phyllo dough, layer 3-4 sheets with melted butter in between before cutting.
  • These can be frozen after baking and reheated in the oven or microwave.
  • Ensure the sausage is cooled slightly before adding to the egg mixture to prevent curdling.
