Sausage Pie Monterey Recipe

Kitchen Equipment You’ll Need

Mixing bowl

Frying pan or skillet

Pie dish (9-inch)

Whisk

Measuring cups and spoons

Oven

Tips for Success

Cook and drain the sausage well to avoid a greasy filling. Let the pie rest for 10–15 minutes before slicing for cleaner cuts. Use quality cheese and season the egg mixture well for the best flavor.

Ingredients

1 deep-dish pie crust (store-bought or homemade)

1 pound breakfast sausage

1½ cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese

4 large eggs

¾ cup milk or half-and-half

½ teaspoon garlic powder

½ teaspoon onion powder

Salt and pepper to taste

Optional: chopped green onions or diced bell peppers for added flavor

Directions

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). In a skillet, cook sausage over medium heat until browned and cooked through, breaking it up as it cooks. Drain excess fat and set aside to cool slightly. In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir in cheese and cooked sausage. Add optional vegetables if using. Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust and smooth the top. Bake for 35–40 minutes or until the center is set and the top is golden. Let rest 10–15 minutes before slicing and serving.

Additional Tips or Variations

Swap Monterey Jack for cheddar, Swiss, or pepper jack for different flavor profiles. Add cooked spinach, mushrooms, or zucchini for a veggie twist. Use turkey sausage for a lighter option. Great served with salsa or hot sauce on the side.
