I used to think my aunts’ dish was a thing of the past, but I rediscovered it, and it’s tastier than ever!

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and bell peppers, sautéing until they are soft.

3. Add the ground sausage to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon.

4. In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper.

5. Place the pre-made pie crust in a pie dish. Spread the cooked sausage mixture evenly over the crust.

6. Sprinkle the shredded Monterey Jack cheese over the sausage.

7. Pour the egg mixture over the cheese and sausage, ensuring it is evenly distributed.

8. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the pie is set and the top is golden brown.

9. Let the pie cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.

Variations & Tips

For a spicier kick, try using a spicy sausage or adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sausage mixture.

If you have picky eaters, you can omit the onions and bell peppers, or substitute them with mushrooms or spinach.

For a different cheese flavor, consider using cheddar or pepper jack cheese instead of Monterey Jack. This pie can also be made with a homemade crust if you prefer, adding a personal touch to the dish.
