Ingredients:

For the filling:

• 1 lb (450g) pork sausages, casings removed (you can use any flavor you like)
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 1 bell pepper (any color), diced
• 1 cup sliced mushrooms
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese (or a mix of Monterey Jack and Cheddar)
• 1/2 cup milk
• 3 large eggs
• Salt and pepper to taste

For the crust:

• 1 store-bought pie crust (9-inch) or homemade pie crust

Preparation:

• Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
• In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and diced bell pepper and cook until they become soft and slightly caramelized, around 5 minutes.
• Add the sausage meat to the skillet, breaking it up with a spatula. Cook the sausage until it’s browned and fully cooked. Stir in the sliced mushrooms and minced garlic, and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes. Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste. Remove the skillet from the heat and let it cool slightly.
• In a mixing bowl, whisk together the milk and eggs until well combined.
• Take your pie crust and place it in a 9-inch pie dish, pressing it down gently to fit the shape of the dish.
• Spread the cooked sausage mixture evenly over the pie crust.
• Sprinkle the shredded Monterey Jack cheese over the sausage mixture.
• Pour the milk and egg mixture over the top of the pie, ensuring it’s evenly distributed.
• Optional: You can decorate the top with some extra slices of bell pepper or mushrooms for presentation.
• Place the pie dish on a baking sheet (to catch any potential spills) and bake in the preheated oven for about 35-40 minutes or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown.
• Remove the Monterey Sausage Pie from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
• Enjoy your delicious Monterey Sausage Pie! It’s perfect as a main dish with a side salad or as a tasty snack for gatherings and parties.
