Looking forward to trying for an upcoming weekend getaway. Just curious if anyone has made ahead and frozen or froze raw to bake after thawing?
Calvin says
Awesome, I like sausage.
Alethea says
Anyone try this in a convection oven? Suggestions on cooking time/temp for that scenario?
Sheila says
I flattened out sausage and cooked and placed in quiche dish. I added broccoli, onions, portobellos and red bell pepper. I think will add a bit of cheddar to top off. Going to serve w small salad. Smells wonderful.
Vicki says
Love this recipe but How can I adapt this to a 10″ pan? Will one sausage roll make it?
Sheila says
Hi Vicki. Add 2 more eggs and 1 pound of sausage. Will be fine.
Kay Hughes says
Does this freeze well?
Angel says
I used hot sausage and topped with a mixture of swiss and mozzarella cheese. OMG! This was sooo good. I look forward to trying some new vegetable and cheese combos. Love the site. Keep it up.
Mellissa Sevigny says
Thanks so much Angel, glad you liked this one!
Kisha says
I’m making this today. With broccoli, instead of eggplant. Very delicious. I’ve made it before and it’s an awesome recipe!
Jessica Crouch says
I just made this with yellow squash instead of eggplant (my eggplant went moldy :( and it was all I had to replace it). Tip for people doing that, if you don’t precook it, it will end up very watery (but still good). I thought my sausage had given out a loooot of grease and then I remembered squash is very watery (duh right?). In any case, it was very yummy!
Ambet says
I have mine in the oven now! Spinach, portobello mushrooms, vidalia onions and cherry tomatoes! It smells heavenly and I can’t wait to try! Thanks for the recipe.
Mellissa Sevigny says
Hope it tasted as good as it smelled Ambet! :)
April says
This recipe is great! It has a different texture than the quiche that I make, so it seems like a different dish. I found that pre-baking the sausage crust so that it was partially done was a good idea. Then I could drain of the extra fat and liquid before putting on the toppings; and, I didn’t h ave to wonder if it was getting cooked through. I didn’t have egg plant, so I substituted some sauteed red peppers and onion. Delicious…and a keeper. Thanks!!
Mellissa Sevigny says
Thanks April, and thanks for sharing your pre-baking idea – don’t know why I didn’t think of that myself! :)
Alison says
This looks great – will definitely try this for a Sunday breakfast some day!
Chana says
This sounds great- but does it end up vvery greasy? I would imagine as the crust bakes, it would produce so much grease that it would be floating in it…Do you drain it periodically during cooking..or am I missing something here?
Thanks!!
Mellissa Sevigny says
A good quality sausage like Jones Dairy Farm won’t produce a lot of grease Chana! But if you find that there is a little, just dab it with a paper towel to remove any excess!

in case you’re in Chicago, I highly recommend Lou Malnatti’s ‘crustless’ pizza. they use sausage as the base. sure, the sauce has carbs, but this pizza is truly splurge worthy! (and, it taste great cold!) according to their nutritional info, 1 slice has 2g carbs (1 slice = 1/11th of a medium pizza). if you’re eating a normal size slice (1/6th of the pizza), it’s still only 4g carb. and, 1 slice is pretty filling.

I usually shy away from meat crusts as the longer I low-carb, the heavier I find such things, but you injection of eggplant will totally tone down the heaviness for me. Brilliant, Melissa! I look forward to trying this sometime!
Paula says
Can’t wait to try this one
Allyssa says
This is spectacular! What an idea. I never would have thought of using sausage as a crust. It feels so naughty, but the protein factor and all of the veggies makes perfect sense. I’m definitely making this for my family members the next time we have an occasion to make a special breakfast. Or even dinner!
Lise says
I wish we here in Canada had better bacon. They have now made the packages smaller for the same price and there is 1 carb per slice. Is it my imagination or did that change? I look at the ingredients and can’t understand why. There is no sugar. Going to try this recipe. I love quiche but have given it up because of the crust. Yum.
Katherine says
Hey Lise
Try getting bacon from Costco in Canada. It is most often cheaper, better quality and is not cured in any sugar. Most bacon is cured in a salt/sugar mix and many even use maple so that would explain the 1 carb per slice. Thankfully it’s only 1 carb so nothing really to worry about!
