Monterey sausage pie

Step 4: Add Sausage and Cheese

Fold the cooked sausage into the batter, followed by the Monterey Jack cheese and cheddar (if using).
If you’re adding vegetables, gently stir them in at this stage, making sure everything is evenly distributed.

Step 5: Assemble the Pie

Pour the mixture into your prepared pie dish, spreading it out evenly with a spatula. The sausage and cheese should be well dispersed so every slice has plenty of flavor.

Step 6: Bake to Golden Perfection

Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the top is lightly golden and the center is set.
To test doneness, insert a knife into the center—if it comes out clean, the pie is ready.

Step 7: Rest Before Serving

Remove the pie from the oven and let it rest for 5–10 minutes. This allows it to firm up slightly, making slicing easier and cleaner.

Serving Suggestions

Monterey Sausage Pie is delicious on its own, but it pairs wonderfully with:

• A fresh green salad
• Roasted potatoes or hash browns
• Sautéed vegetables
• Fresh fruit for a breakfast or brunch spread

It’s equally good warm or at room temperature, making it ideal for gatherings or meal prep.

Tips for the Best Results

• Use freshly shredded cheese for better melting and texture.
• Don’t overbake—once the center is just set, it’s done.
• For a spicy kick, use hot sausage or add a pinch of red pepper flakes.
• Leftovers store well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat beautifully.
