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.

I had a question about the crust. Can you skip the crust if you have gluten issues? I know the crust is deliscious but I have to adjust things for my diet. Just wondering.
Yes, you can.
I just made this today. This quiche was delicious! My husband is the cook of the house for the last 47 years and he gave me an A++++. I did add half of a green bell pepper to the mix. I then added sliced raw jalapeños on top of the cheese before I baked it! Again this is a yummy dish!
Only thing that I almost messed up on was draining the rotel ,but caught myself!
So happy you enjoy it!
Can you freeze this cook later?
Yes, read just above that last photo and I explain how to freeze before and after cooking.
Okay, I just made this, and everything seemed to go wrong, due to cook’s errors. My crust was deep dish,
but was still too small to hold all of the filling. The pan in which I cooked the filling was too small, and when
I added the eggs, they spilled all over the place. Not only did I have a mess to clean up, I had to guess how
many more eggs to add. The “extra” filling, I decided to cook on top of the stove, and it seems to
have turned out all right. The quiche was thicker, due to the smaller pan, and I adjusted the cook time
accordingly. In spite of all the mishaps, it still was delicious; hubby even had seconds! This recipe is
definitely a keeper, and I will make it again, using the correct pan sizes! 🙂
