INGREDIENTS:

1 lb breakfast sausage (mild or spicy, based on preference)

1 frozen pie crust (or homemade, if preferred)

1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

4 large eggs

1/4 cup milk

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

1 tablespoon olive oil (for sautéing)

1/4 cup chopped green onions or fresh parsley (optional for garnish)

DIRECTIONS:

Prepare the sausage:

Cook the sausage: In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the breakfast sausage and cook, breaking it apart with a spoon, until browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess grease and set aside to cool slightly.

Prepare the egg mixture:

Mix the eggs and cheese: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir in the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheeses until fully combined.

Assemble the pie:

Prepare the pie crust: Place the pie crust in a pie dish, pressing it down gently to fit the pan. If using a homemade crust, ensure it’s chilled and rolled out to fit the pie dish.

Add the sausage: Spread the cooked sausage evenly across the bottom of the pie crust.

Add the egg mixture: Pour the egg and cheese mixture over the sausage in the pie crust. Make sure the egg mixture is evenly distributed.

Bake the pie:

Bake the pie: Place the assembled pie in the preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is golden brown. A knife inserted into the center should come out clean.

Serve:

Cool and serve: Allow the sausage pie to cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. Garnish with chopped green onions or fresh parsley for an extra touch of color and flavor.
