Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prepare the Oven and Crust
Preheat your oven and place the pie crust in a pie dish. Lightly prick the bottom with a fork and set aside.
2. Cook the Sausage
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until browned and fully crumbled. Drain excess grease.
3. Assemble the Filling
Spread the cooked sausage evenly over the pie crust. Sprinkle generously with Monterey Jack cheese so it melts into the sausage.
4. Mix the Egg Custard
In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk or cream, and seasonings. Pour this mixture evenly over the sausage and cheese.
5. Bake the Pie
Place the pie in the oven and bake until the top is golden and the center is set. The edges should be lightly browned.
6. Let It Rest
Allow the pie to cool slightly before slicing. This helps the filling set perfectly.
7. Serve and Enjoy
Serve warm with a fresh side salad, roasted veggies, or your favorite comfort-food sides.
