Monterey Sausage Pie

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven:
    350°F (175°C). Place pie crust in a 9-inch pie pan if not pre-lined.
  2. Cook sausage and vegetables:
    In a skillet over medium heat, cook sausage until browned. Drain excess fat.
    Add onion and bell pepper and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes. Let cool slightly.
  3. Prepare cheese and egg mixture:
    In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, garlic powder, and black pepper. Stir in both cheeses.
  4. Assemble the pie:
    Spread cooked sausage mixture evenly over the pie crust. Pour the egg and cheese mixture on top.
  5. Bake:
    Bake 35–40 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden brown. A knife inserted should come out clean.
  6. Cool and serve:
    Let the pie cool 5–10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm for a hearty breakfast, brunch, or dinner.

💡 Tips:

  • Add chopped mushrooms or spinach for extra veggies.
  • For a spicier version, use hot sausage or add a pinch of cayenne pepper.
  • This pie reheats well and can be sliced for meal prep breakfasts.

If you like, I can also give a shortcut version that uses biscuits or crescent roll dough instead of a pie crust, making it quicker and even fluffier. Do you want me to do that?
