Ingredients
  

For the Pie
  • 1 piece Pre-made pie crust Use store-bought or homemade
  • 1 pound Ground sausage Pork or chicken sausage works great
  • 1 cup Monterey Jack cheese, shredded Substitute with Colby Jack or Pepper Jack for spice
  • ½ cup Onion, chopped Yellow or white
  • ½ cup Bell pepper, chopped Any color adds sweetness and color
  • 3 large Eggs Binds the filling
  • ½ cup Milk Whole or 2% preferred
  • 1 tablespoon Olive oil For sautéing
  • Salt & pepper To taste, adjust as needed

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Set your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish, pressing gently along the sides. Prick the bottom with a fork to prevent puffing, and set aside.
  2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add chopped onions and bell peppers. Cook until softened and fragrant, about 3–4 minutes.
  3. Add the ground sausage to the skillet. Cook until browned, breaking it into small crumbles. Drain off excess fat if needed.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  5. Spread the cooked sausage and vegetable mixture evenly over the pie crust. Top with shredded Monterey Jack cheese, then pour the egg mixture over everything.
  6. Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown. The pie should feel firm in the center when gently shaken.
  7. Allow to rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

Notes

Precook the crust for 5–7 minutes for a crispier bottom. Let it rest before slicing to make for neater servings.
