Below is a detailed, step-by-step guide to making this mouthwatering pie from scratch.
🧀 Ingredients You’ll Need
For the filling:
- 1 lb (450 g) pork sausage (mild or spicy, as you prefer)
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 cup (115 g) shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 1 cup (115 g) shredded cheddar cheese
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup (240 ml) milk
- ½ cup (60 g) all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
- 1 tablespoon butter or oil for greasing
Optional add-ins:
- ¼ cup diced bell peppers for color and sweetness
- ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper for a little heat
- 2 tablespoons chopped green onions for garnish
🍳 Step-by-Step Method
Step 1: Preheat and Prepare
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch pie plate or deep-dish baking dish with butter or oil. This ensures your pie will release easily and get that lovely golden edge.
Step 2: Cook the Sausage
In a large skillet over medium heat, crumble the sausage and cook until browned, about 6–8 minutes.
Add the chopped onion (and bell peppers, if using), and sauté until soft and translucent. Drain off any excess fat — you want the filling to be flavorful, not greasy.
