The Sausage Pie is a delightful dish that combines the savory flavors of sausage and garlic with the richness of cheese and the lightness of eggs. It's a versatile recipe that can be enjoyed for either breakfast or dinner, making it a perfect addition to any meal plan.
Ingredients:
Bulk Pork Sausage: 1 pound
Minced Garlic: 3 teaspoons
Shredded Monterey Jack Cheese: 2-½ cups, divided
Milk: 1-⅓ cup
Eggs: 3 whole
Biscuit/Baking Mix: ¾ cups
Rubbed Sage: ¾ teaspoons
Pepper: ¼ teaspoons
Preparation Steps:
Cook Sausage and Garlic: In a large skillet, cook the sausage over medium heat until it's no longer pink. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional minute. Drain the excess fat.
Cheese Mixture: Stir in 2 cups of the shredded Monterey Jack cheese into the cooked sausage. Transfer this mixture to a greased 9-inch deep-dish pie plate.
Egg Mixture: In a separate small bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, biscuit mix, sage, and pepper.
Combine and Bake: Pour the egg mixture over the sausage and cheese in the pie plate. Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F for 20-25 minutes, or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.
Final Touch: Sprinkle the remaining ½ cup of cheese over the baked pie. Return to the oven for 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese has melted.
Serve: Let the pie stand for about 10 minutes before cutting into it.
