5. Assemble the Pie
Pour the batter evenly over the sausage and cheese layers in the baking dish. Don’t worry if it looks like it won’t cover everything—during baking, it will rise and spread beautifully.
6. Bake to Perfection
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.
You’ll notice the edges becoming slightly crisp while the inside stays soft and fluffy.
7. Let It Rest
Once out of the oven, allow the pie to rest for about 5–10 minutes. This helps it set and makes slicing easier.
