Gluten Free Dairy Free Apple Sausage Quiche
Quiche is a dish that can be made with so many different flavor combinations and still be delicious. It is also an easy, economical meal to be used as breakfast, lunch or a dinner. I like to bake mini-quiches in muffin tins to make them an simple, high-protien breakfast for my teens to grab as they stumble to the bus in the morning.
I am so excited that apples are coming into season soon! Gluten Free Dairy Free Apple Sausage Quiche has chopped apples in the mix, lending a sweetness that compliments the sausage and roasted peppers perfectly. I did not use the optional dairy free cheese substitute in the mini-quiches I made (see above) and they were still flavorful and colorful.

Can’t wait to make these!
An exciting new freeze-and-store option for breakfast in a college dorm! Thanks.
This was yummy! I don’t know what I did wrong but I had to use 7 eggs to fill all 12 muffin tins and that was filling just under the rim. It had that McGriddle taste without the bread!

What kind of dairy free cheese do you use?
I usually make my own. The recipes I use can be found on my gluten & dairy free blog here: http://angelaskitchen.com/recipes/dips-sauces-spice-mixes-spreads-dressings-gravies/dairy-replacements/ I especially like the Cashew Cheesy Sauce. If you would like to not make your own, and you can have soy, Follow Your Heart Vegan Cheese has a nice soy cheese that is completely gluten and dairy free and melts when you use it. You can see what the mozzarella style looks like melted on this post: http://angelaskitchen.com/2008/05/17/gluten-free-dairy-free-pizza-joy-yum/ And it is pretty tasty, too! Another gluten and dairy free cheese replacement I like is Daiya Vegan Cheese. It is also nut and soy free. Hope that helps!
