Monterey Sausage Pie

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a 9-inch pie dish.
2. Cook sausage in a skillet over medium heat until browned. Drain off the excess grease.
3. In a large bowl, mix the cooked sausage with cheeses, green onions, and green chiles. Spread the mixture evenly into the prepared pie dish.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper.
5. In another bowl, beat eggs with milk. Stir the egg mixture into the dry ingredients to form a thin batter.
6. Pour the batter over the sausage mixture in the pie dish.
7. Bake for 30–35 minutes, until the top is golden and the center is set. A knife inserted should come out clean.
8. Let the pie rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.

Variations :

• Use pepper jack cheese for an extra kick of spice.
• Substitute turkey sausage or chorizo for a different protein profile.
• Add chopped bell peppers or sautéed mushrooms for more veggie content.

Tips :

• For even baking, let the egg and milk come to room temperature before mixing.
• This pie stores well—refrigerate leftovers and reheat slices in the oven or microwave.
• Serve with salsa, sour cream, or hot sauce on the side for extra flair.

Perfectly easy, endlessly customizable, and undeniably satisfying—this Monterey Sausage Pie will quickly become a staple in your recipe rotation.
