Cream Cheese Sausage Rotel Dip Quiche –
I love dips, and I love quiche, so I decided to combine the two. Sausage Rotel dip is one of my favorite dips. It’s creamy and spicy and hard to resist. Therefore, I had a hunch that quiche made from this dip would be a slam dunk.
Quiche is so simple to make, and I find a flaky pie crust hard to resist. Therefore, you must blind-bake the crust to keep it crispy. To enhance the
What Is Blind-Baking?
Blind baking is the process of baking a pie shell or crust without the filling. Above all, blind-baking ensures a crisp crust. Otherwise, the crust tends to get gummy and not bake through if you add the filling before baking it. The brilliance of quiche lies in its perfect crust.
How to Blind-Bake a Pie Shell
- Fit your rolled-out dough into a pie pan, gently pressing it into the ridges with your fingers. Trim or fold the excess, then crimp.
- For this recipe, you can use my Coconut Oil Pie Crust, Never-Fail Pie Crust, or a premade, purchased deep dish pie crust.
- Line with a sheet of parchment paper then fill with either pie weights or dried beans. This will keep the crust from forming a big bubble in the bottom of it.
- Next, bake in a 350°F oven for 7 minutes.
- Remove the weights and parchment, and bake for another 5 minutes until the bottom of the crust has just begun to brown.
- Finally, allow the crust to cool about 5 minutes before adding the filling for your

How to freeze quiche
I usually double the recipe and still don’t have any leftovers! As well, you can make ahead and refrigerate or freeze for later.
Quiche can be frozen prior to baking or after baking; baking first may make the quiche a little easier to maneuver in the freezer.
To freeze quiche before baking: Place quiche on a tray or baking pan and freeze until firm. Wrap with freezer paper or heavy-duty aluminum foil or slide quiche into a freezer bag. Seal, label, and freeze for up to one month.
When ready to serve, remove from freezer. Do not thaw. Unwrap and bake, as usual, adding 10 to 20 minutes extra time. To freeze quiche after baking: Proceed as above. Do not thaw before reheating. Remove wrap and bake in a preheated 350°F oven for about 25 minutes, or until heated through.

Just made this and it was delicious! So simple too!
The recipe is a keeper!! It was so easy to make and so yummy!
Could you make this as a keto crustless quiche?
Yes, It’s yummy, just spray the pan good with non-stick spray.
lacurtis54@gmail.com. I made a double batch and used cresent roll dough that I prebaked for about 10 minutes before adding the meat & egg mixture.
Can you cook the sausage and cream cheese mixture the night before and refrigerate then add eggs in the morning and bake to serve?
Yes, You’ll probably need to microwave the sausage/cream cheese mixture a little in order to stir it together with the eggs. Just warm enough so the cream cheese isn’t so hard.
If you are going to freeze the quiche before baking, should you still blind bake the crust before adding your filling? Can’t wait to try this!
Yes, I would still blind bake it.
I’d be happy to eat this for breakfast any day of the week!
Why have I never thought to add cream cheese?? This sounds delicious!
I do believe that you just took quiche to a whole new level of wonderful!
