Step 3: Layer the Filling

Spread the cooked sausage evenly over the bottom of the pie crust. Sprinkle the shredded Monterey Jack cheese on top, making sure it’s well distributed for even melting.

Step 4: Whisk the Egg Mixture

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, pepper, and any optional seasonings. Whisk until smooth and well combined—this mixture will create the creamy custard that holds the pie together.

Step 5: Assemble the Pie

Slowly pour the egg mixture over the sausage and cheese layers. Pour carefully to avoid overflow, ensuring the liquid fills all the gaps between the sausage pieces.

Step 6: Bake to Perfection

Place the pie on the center rack of the oven and bake for 35–45 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is lightly golden. A knife inserted into the center should come out clean.

Step 7: Rest Before Slicing

Remove the pie from the oven and let it rest for 10–15 minutes. This step is essential—it allows the filling to firm up, making clean slices easier.

Storage and Reheating Tips
