Tips for the Perfect Monterey Sausage Pie

• Cheese Variety: Mix Monterey Jack with other cheeses like pepper jack for a spicy kick or mozzarella for a creamier texture.
• Sausage Options: Use spicy Italian sausage for a bolder flavor, or turkey sausage for a lighter version.
• Vegetable Add-ins: Mushrooms, spinach, or zucchini can be added for extra nutrition and taste.
• Crust-Free Version: For a lower-carb option, bake the filling in a greased pie dish without a crust.
