Description
This Monterey Sausage Pie is a savory, comforting breakfast bake layered with flavorful sausage, creamy eggs, and gooey cheese. With vibrant red peppers and a hint of herbs, it’s perfect for brunches, potlucks, or easy weekday meals. It’s crustless, hearty, and wonderfully satisfying.
Ingredients
1 pound ground breakfast sausage
6 large eggs
1 cup half-and-half or milk
1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup chopped red bell pepper
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9-inch pie dish.
2. In a large skillet, cook the ground sausage over medium heat until browned. Drain excess grease and spread evenly in the pie dish.
3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, half-and-half, flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper until smooth.
4. Stir in the Monterey Jack cheese, cheddar cheese, bell pepper, and parsley until combined.
5. Pour the mixture over the sausage and smooth the top.
6. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until golden and set.
7. Let cool for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
Make sure the sausage is well-drained to prevent a greasy pie.
For best texture, let the pie rest before slicing.
You can assemble the night before and bake fresh in the morning.
