Recipe Box, Sassy Southern Quiche
A favorite dip in the South is Hissy Fit Dip
Legend has it that Hissy Fit Dip was supposedly named after a spoiled Southern belle who was so busy socializing that by the time she got to the appetizer table the dip was all gone, and in true spoiled Southern belle form, she threw a big ole “hissy fit.”
This recipe has been in my archives since 2013, and I’m not sure where it originated, but it is widely agreed that the ingredients for this infamous dip are sausage and Velveeta…
When I saw Hissy Fit Quiche over at Plain Chicken, I knew I had to make it!
Now if you are anti Velveeta cheese,
please substitute a creamy mild American or cheddar,
BUT
You will be missing the old fashioned Southern charm of it all
and you’ll have to just call it Sausage & Cheese Dip
😊
My version is slightly different than Stephanie’s, I used maple sausage, added diced sweet onion, used Velveeta cubes instead of shreds, grated Vermont Sharp White Cheddar, Garlic Salt Seasoning, an extra tsp of Worcestershire and another egg, and eliminated the sour cream
Brown the sausage and drain on paper towels, then saute onion in the sausage drippings and put them in the pie shell
I used cubes of Velveeta, which added some very creamy bites to the baked quiche
Grated Vermont White Cheddar gave it some tang
This Garlic Salt seasoning from Trader Joe’s is my new go to seasoning,
it’s a combo of garlic salt, roasted garlic, minced onion and parsley
You can easily mix up your own version
It’s wonderful for garlic bread
Beat eggs, stir in milk and seasoning
Pour over ingredients in crust
Bake at 350 for 45-60 minutes
Note: If you want to make this ahead of time, put the ingredients in the pie crust, beat the eggs and milk and seasoning but cover them both separately and refrigerate. Pour milk mixture into crust just before baking.
All you need is a green salad
Sassy Southern Quiche
Ingredients
- 1 pie crust or pie crust dough round
- 8 oz. maple flavored sausage
- 1/2 large sweet onion diced
- 4 oz. Velveeta cheese cut into 1/2 inch cubes
- 4 oz. Vermont Sharp White Cheddar cheese grated
- 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 T garlic salt seasoning {garlic salt roasted garlic, minced onion, parsley}
- 4 eggs
- 1 milk
Instructions
- Place pie crust dough into a deep pie dish. Brown sausage in skillet, crumbling as you cook it. Drain on paper towels. Saute onion in the rendered sausage drippings until soft and golden. Place sausage and onion into the pie crust.
- Top sausage and onions with cheeses. Beat eggs, stir in milk and seasoning and mix well. Pour over sausage and cheese in pie dish.* Bake at 350 degrees for 45-60 minutes until golden and set in the middle. Let quiche rest for 10 minutes before cutting into wedges.
Notes
Quiche is my go to dish for using up leftovers too, if you have a pie crust, 4 eggs and 1 cup of cream or milk, you’re all set! Fill the crust with cooked bacon, ham, chicken, sausage, sauteed vegetables, grated cheese…season and pour beaten eggs and milk over all. Bake at 350 for 45-60 minutes and dinner is ready!

This definitely sounds sassy! 😀 I wish my husband could eat eggs so I could make this. But then again it looks so good I could probably eat the whole thing by myself!
haha, but that must be a challenge avoiding eggs!
I love quiche, and served with salad is a perfect meal for me!!
Me too!
I’m not a lover of eggs but hubs certainly is and this would hit the spot for a quick and easy dinner with my favorite, a salad. I had to chuckle at it’s name 🙂 Have a great weekend……
thanks Emily!
