Embark on a culinary journey to Sicily with Laura Lombardo's Potato-Sausage Quiche, a dish that encapsulates the soul of Sicilian cuisine. 
This quiche is a comforting delight, perfect for colder days or whenever you crave something heartwarming. 
The quiche's base of tender, boiled potato cubes and aromatic Sicilian sausage creates an irresistible flavour profile. 
The addition of creamy sheep’s ricotta and grated aged caciocavallo cheese lends a velvety texture and rich taste, making each bite a true indulgence. 
Whether you enjoy it as a main or a side dish, this quiche promises a sensory experience filled with the essence of Sicily. Best appreciated in winter, its richness is a treat for any season.

👨‍🍳 Preparation

  1. 1

    Peel and cube the potatoes, then cook them in salted water until soft but not mushy.

  2. 2

    Remove the skin from the sausage and roughly chop it. Heat a non-stick frying pan with olive oil and brown the sausage until golden.

  3. 3

    In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs, then add ricotta and grated caciocavallo, mixing carefully.

  4. 4

    Mash the boiled potatoes with a fork to a coarse puree. Add the browned sausage, season with salt and pepper, and mix thoroughly.

  5. 5

    Butter a baking dish, pour the potato and sausage mixture, and level the surface. Bake at 180°C for 35-40 minutes until golden and crispy.

💡 Tips and Variations

For a twist, consider adding fresh herbs like parsley or thyme, or try substituting caciocavallo with pecorino cheese for a different flavour profile.

📦 Storage

  • • Store the quiche in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days, covered with plastic wrap or in an airtight container.
  • • Freeze individual portions by wrapping them tightly in plastic wrap and aluminium foil. Store in the freezer for 1-2 months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before reheating.
  • • Reheat in a preheated oven at 180°C for 20-25 minutes or in the microwave on low power, covered, to retain moisture.

🍷 Pairing

Pair the quiche with a glass of Cerasuolo di Vittoria, a Sicilian wine with a harmonious blend of complex flavours that complements the richness of the dish.
