This Hatch Green Chile and Sausage Quiche is a hearty, flavor-packed dish that works for any meal of the day. With roasted Hatch Green Chile, savory sausage, and melty cheddar nestled in a flaky crust, it's comfort food with a New Mexico twist.

There's something about a homemade quiche that just feels like a labor of love — and this one is worth every minute. We took a classic recipe and gave it that signature New Mexico warmth with roasted Hatch Green Chile and savory sausage. The creamy egg filling is rich and satisfying, and with all the add-in possibilities, you can make it a little different every single time. This is the kind of dish that works just as well for a Sunday brunch with family as it does for a weeknight dinner when you want something special without too much fuss. Make it once, and it'll earn a permanent spot in your recipe rotation — we'd bet on it.

Our family has farmed the Hatch Valley for five generations, and the chile is what makes this quiche sing. Fire-roasted Roasted Hatch Green Chile brings a gentle smoky heat that plays beautifully against the rich custard and savory sausage. Choose medium for a brunch crowd or hot if you like a little more kick with your morning coffee. Serve it warm with a simple green salad, and don't be shy about leftovers — a slice of green chile quiche is just as good cold from the fridge the next day.

Frequently asked questions

What is green chile quiche?

Green chile quiche is a creamy baked egg custard in a flaky crust, studded with roasted Hatch green chile, savory sausage, and melty cheddar cheese. It's a New Mexico twist on the classic French quiche, equally at home at a Sunday brunch or a weeknight dinner.

Can you make green chile quiche ahead of time?

Yes. Green chile quiche reheats well and is even good cold from the fridge the next day. Bake it fully, cool, and refrigerate up to 3 days, then warm slices in a 325 degree F oven. You can also blind-bake the crust and prep the filling a day ahead to assemble in the morning.

What can I add to a green chile sausage quiche?

The creamy egg base takes well to plenty of add-ins, so you can make it different every time. Try diced potatoes, spinach, mushrooms, green onion, or swapping cheddar for Monterey Jack. The roasted Hatch green chile and savory sausage are the constants that give it its New Mexico character.

Where can I buy Hatch green chile for quiche?

You can order Roasted Hatch Green Chile shipped from our family farm in the Hatch Valley. It's fire-roasted and peeled, ready to chop into the custard. Choose medium for a brunch crowd or hot for more heat. Roasted Hatch chile keeps far more flavor than canned green chile.
