Spinach & Sausage Quiche

Sausage & Spinach Quiche is rich, cheesy and absolutely delicious!  It makes a perfect menu for any special occasion breakfast.  Serve it with a plate of fruit and a simple salad for a simple well rounded brunch your guests will love!

Spinach and Sausage Quiche

The Versatility of Quiche

Spinach & Sausage Quiche has been my go-to recipe for many a Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, birthday, holiday or baby shower brunch.  It’s a delicious combination as is, but also so versatile.  Easily sub bacon or ham for the sausage or leave it vegetarian.  Sub Swiss chard, or bell pepper for the spinach.  Try different cheeses and you have a ton of combinations to try.  It works great for any special occasion served before noon.  But actually, quiche makes a great dinner too!  Quiche is the perfect combination of meat, veggie, and cheese, high in protein and a fun family dinner. 

Making Spinach and Sausage Quiche

A Brunch Menu

I have hosted many brunches over the years.  Many together with my mom, and we always make the food our top priority.  It seems someone is always getting married or having a baby and we always fall back on some variation of this basic menu…an egg dish, a fruit plate, a salad or something sweet.  

  • A Fruit – check out how to make a fruit plate like a pro or serve your fruit around a serving bowl of yogurt and granola

  • A Salad – check out my easy vinaigrette in a jar and pair it with a fruit/nut/cheese combination like raspberry/almond/feta or pear/walnut/blue cheese

  • A Sweet – try Carrot Pecan Muffins or Cranberry Baked Oatmeal Cups 

My latest special occasion was for father’s day and we had a delicious menu.  Sausage and Swiss chard quiche (a slight variation because the Swiss chard was from my garden, yay!) , a plate of fruit with yogurt and homemade granola, and a simple blueberry pecan salad with homemade “we love Daddy and Grandpa” cards on the side.

Cheers to 2021🥂 A difficult year to look back o Cheers to 2021🥂 A difficult year to look back on for sure, but as we flipped through the year's photos last night, it contained a lot of good times.  We are looking at life a little differently, the sleep I lost from online school decisions will fade from memory, while the inspiration from watching people like @sarahcrowleyceramics and @midwest.foodie will keep me grinding the coffee in the basement at 5am to work a few silent moments before the kids wake.  May the early morning runs, the new covid friendships, the extreme hiking and the family pizza nights carry on.  May 2021 be a good year ✌️
