Potato Crust Quiche (Paleo)
Have you ever made a potato crust quiche? This naturally paleo quiche recipe is packed with delicious grain free flavor and is incredibly easy to make since there is no traditional pie crust involved. In this post I will give you this delicious recipe and share how to make a potato crusted quiche.
Growing up my Aunt Cheryl made quiche and taught me how to make it. She never made it with a potato crust because it was always a rich dish full of gluten, dairy and lots of other ingredients. Once I was on my own I wanted to recreate the dish and made quiche often. After going gluten free I immediately created a gluten free quiche recipe, but once I needed to eat a little more healthy I decided a paleo quiche recipe was needed.
Potato crust quiche is the perfect combo for a grain free quiche that isn’t compromising on any flavor. The potato makes it the full breakfast or brunch experience and you can throw that crust together in just a few minutes.
Potato Crust Quiche
Keeping it gluten and dairy free was simple since we are just using sliced potatoes for the crust. It’s easy to omit cheese because with this Mulay’s breakfast sausage there’s so much amazing flavor you will never miss the cheese. For the milk component anything goes. You can use coconut milk to keep it paleo, or an unsweetened almond or flax milk works awesome too.
For this recipe I chose Mulay’s sausage because they are my go-to brand for all sausage and some meats. They have amazing chorizo, bratwurst, meatballs (yes, paleo meatballs that taste amazing), German franks, and many more. Trust me when I say everything is amazing! You can use any sausage that you love for this recipe.

How to make a potato crusted quiche…
In a skillet heat the oil on medium heat and add the mushroom, zucchini, and bell pepper. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and saute for about 5 minutes.
Add the ground sausage, mince the meat and cook for 6-9 minutes, or until it’s cooked thoroughly. Set aside. While the meat is cooking add the eggs and dairy free milk to a bowl and whisk well.
Heat the oven to 425ºF. Spray a pie dish with non-stick spray and line it evenly with sliced potatoes. Add the veggie and meat mixture on top of the potatoes, add the spinach and then pour the egg mixture on top. Place the pie dish on top of a baking sheet in case there’s any overflow while cooking.
Bake for about 50 minutes, or until a knife comes out of the center clean.
