👩🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1 — Preheat Oven
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the pie crust in a 9-inch pie pan and set aside.
Step 2 — Cook the Sausage
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until browned, breaking it into small pieces. Remove excess grease if necessary.
Step 3 — Sauté Vegetables
Add onion, bell pepper, and garlic to the skillet. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
Step 4 — Combine Filling
In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, pepper, and paprika. Add cooked sausage and vegetables, then fold in the cheeses.
Step 5 — Assemble the Pie
Pour the filling mixture into the prepared pie crust. Spread evenly.
Step 6 — Bake
Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown. Let the pie cool for 5–10 minutes before slicing.
Step 7 — Serve
Slice into wedges and serve warm. Perfect alongside a fresh salad or roasted vegetables.
