Step 3 — Season and Add Cheese

Transfer the cooked sausage mixture to the greased pie dish.
Sprinkle the shredded Monterey Jack (and cheddar, if using) over the top. The cheese acts as a binding layer between the filling and crust.

Step 4 — Mix the Magic Batter

In a mixing bowl, whisk together:

• Flour
• Milk
• Eggs
• Salt
• Baking powder

Whisk until smooth — the batter should be pourable, somewhat like pancake batter.

Step 5 — Pour and Bake

Slowly pour the batter evenly over the sausage and cheese in the pie dish. It will sink slightly and begin forming the crust during baking.

Place the dish in the oven and bake for 25–30 minutes, or until:

• The pie is puffed and golden
• The center is set
• The edges are lightly browned

Step 6 — Cool Slightly and Serve

Let the pie cool for 5–10 minutes before cutting. This allows the filling to settle and makes slicing much easier.

Serve warm — each slice is cheesy, savory, and incredibly comforting.

🍽️ Serving Ideas

• Pair with a fresh green salad for a light, balanced meal.
• Serve with scrambled eggs or fruit for a hearty breakfast spread.
• Drizzle with salsa or hot sauce for a spicy twist.
• Enjoy leftovers reheated in the oven or air fryer.
