Ingredients

Before diving into the method, gather the following ingredients:

  • 1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 pound (450 g) ground pork sausage
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper (optional)
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese (can mix with cheddar)
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk or half-and-half
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano or Italian seasoning
  • Dash of hot sauce (optional)

Step-by-Step Method

Step 1: Prepare the Pie Crust

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. If you’re using a refrigerated pie crust, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before unrolling. Gently fit it into a 9-inch pie plate.
  3. Prick the bottom with a fork to prevent bubbling. Pre-bake for about 5 minutes to avoid a soggy crust. Set aside.
