Monterey Sausage Pie

Step 3: Layer the Filling

Spread the cooked sausage and onion mixture evenly into the greased pie dish.
Sprinkle both the Monterey Jack and cheddar cheese on top. The mix of cheeses gives the pie a perfect balance of creamy and sharp flavors.

Step 4: Make the Egg Mixture

In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, flour, baking powder, salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
Whisk until smooth — it should resemble a thin pancake batter. This mixture will bake into a soft, custard-like layer that holds everything together.

Step 5: Pour and Bake

Pour the egg mixture evenly over the sausage and cheese layers. The liquid will seep through and create a fluffy, cohesive texture as it bakes.

Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.

Step 6: Rest and Serve

Remove from the oven and let the pie rest for about 10 minutes before slicing. This helps the filling set and makes slicing easier.

Garnish with chopped green onions or a sprinkle of extra cheese, if desired.

🥧 Serving Suggestions

• Breakfast: Pair with a fresh fruit salad and coffee for a balanced start.
• Brunch: Serve with roasted potatoes or a simple green salad.
• Dinner: Add a side of steamed vegetables or a light soup.

You can also make this pie ahead of time — simply refrigerate leftovers and reheat individual slices in the oven or microwave. It’s just as delicious the next day!

💡 Tips for Success

• Cheese choice: Monterey Jack melts beautifully, but you can also use pepper jack for a spicier version.
• Crust variation: Though this recipe doesn’t require a traditional crust, you can press crescent roll dough or pie crust into the pan before adding the filling for extra texture.
• Make it lighter: Swap sausage for ground turkey or chicken and use low-fat cheese and milk.
