Dairy Free Quiche with Leeks and Sausage
This dairy free quiche recipe is made in a muffin tin with pre-made dough for a quick and easy, yet fun, breakfast.
Servings: 12 quiche
Equipment
- 1 dark muffin tin
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup leeks, washed and chopped, or green onion, or chives
- 3/4 cup cooked sausage*, crumbled
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup oat milk
- 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and black pepper to taste (about 1/4 tsp)
- 1 pre-made 9" pie dough (flat, not in a large pie form) at room temperature
- oil for greasing the muffin tin
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Begin by washing your chopped leeks well, draining and drying. In a medium bowl, combine the leeks, cooked sausage, eggs, oat milk, thyme, salt, and pepper, whisking till well combined.
- Meanwhile form the pie dough and roll it out with a rolling pin to about 1/8-1/4" thickness. Use a 3 inch glass or cookie cutter to cut circles in the dough and put into a greased or non-stick muffin tin. You will probably have to do this in two steps, rolling out the remaining pie dough again to use the rest. Press along the sides of a greased muffin tin so the dough is thin (it does not need to reach the top). You should have enough for all 12 tins.
- Pour the egg filling into the quiche dough, evenly dispersing among the cups, and bake for 25-30 minutes until cooked through and set on top. Allow to cool in the muffin tin for 5 minutes and then slide a knife around the edges, carefully lifting the quiche out the pan. Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
- I recommend using a dark nonstick muffin tin. If you don't, it may require longer cooking time or pre-baking the crust.
- Other milks you can use - Hemp milk, rice milk, nut milks (if tolerated) or cow's milk. I don't recommend coconut as the flavor may be too strong.
- To make gluten free, use a gluten free crust like Wholly Wholesome.
- Sausage - I like to use my sausage recipe (pg53 of my Dizzy Cook cookbook) or pre-made fresh sweet Italian chicken sausage. These would be the kind that are uncooked with fresh ground meat, usually sold behind the meat counter.
- To make vegetarian, leave out the sausage. You can add 3/4 cup of other mixed vegetables like broccoli or peppers. I'd also add a few spices for flavor, like garlic powder or paprika.
