It’s a holiday weekend and I want something easy and delicious to cook that will also give me some of that wonderful word I love…Leftovers….I know they say ‘real men don’t eat quiche’….well, they do at my house and they love it! I don’t know who the infamous “they” is but ‘they’ got it wrong! Men love hearty food and a quiche can be filled with all sorts of vegetables and meats making for a very manly meal!
I did a search for a sausage quiche and I couldn’t believe it! None of them called for cheese! What? No wonder their men don’t eat quiche! What you really have if you leave out the cheese is an egg casserole. Anyway, I just adjusted a recipe that had cheese and added my own fillings. It was the best.
This basic quiche recipe can be adjusted to include a variety of fillings. It’s a perfect way to use leftover vegetables and meats! Any meat should be thoroughly cooked first. Ham. bacon, cheddar cheese, asparagus, broccoli would also be great in this recipe!
I’m blogging it today before I forget the recipe! My husband LOVED it and yours will, too. And hey, don’t listen to the infamous “they.” “They” obviously don’t know how to cook!

Love the recipe but one correction is that this recipe makes too much for a deep dish store brought pie crust. I will have to make some adjustments. Glad I cook it on a cookie sheet cause it spilled over pretty bad.
