Dec 06, 2014, Updated Jan 17, 2024 This rich sausage quiche is pretty wonderful, if I do say so myself. Browned turkey sausage, caramelized onions and gruyere are all nestled into a fluffy egg filling on a golden hashbrown potato crust. Perfect for holiday brunching! It was inspired by one my cousin’s lovely wife Lindsay made once for lunch (hi Linds!) years ago – her shredded potato crust was a total revelation to me. I’ve made variations of it many times, and I’m always asked for the recipe. I created this special version in collaboration with Grimm’s Fine Foods, makers of European sausages and deli meats – right here in British Columbia. I was already a fan of their Turkey Farmers Sausage, and I love that they’re local – so I was very happy to work together. These savoury sausages are made with 100% turkey meat, with no soy, gluten or added MSG. They’re a lean option (unlike most sausages) and they’re fully cooked, which makes it really easy to enjoy them for breakfast even on crazy-busy mornings. I’ll definitely be adding them to this breakfast sandwich, but they’re also very versatile outside of the English muffin. There are a few secrets to the crispiest hashbrown-potato crust: First of all, you want to squeeze the excess moisture out of the grated potatoes using a clean dish towel. Then, you’re going to cook the hashbrown on both sides before adding the quiche filling, and you’re going to bake it on the lower oven rack on top of a preheated baking stone (or baking sheet). Finally, serve it straight away to minimize the crust steaming under the quiche. It will inevitably soften a bit, it’s truly delicious either way – I’ve made it several times in testing, and we’ve been happily eating leftovers straight from the fridge. Because caramelized onions take time (they’re so worth it), I recommend doubling the amount, and saving the rest to fold into a creamy dip or to nestle into a comfy pasta. The crispy-edged bits of turkey farmer sausage are so yummy – I had to swat away many hands in order to have enough to go inside the quiche. Serve this quiche with a simple green salad and crusty bread. And go say hi to my friends at Grimm’s! What are your go-to holiday brunch dishes?
