Ingredients
- 1 deep-dish pie crust store-bought or homemade
- 1 lb ground breakfast sausage mild or spicy
- 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup heavy cream or whole milk
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- ¼ tsp paprika

Instructions
- 1️⃣ Preheat Oven
- Preheat your oven to 375°F. Place the pie crust in a greased 9-inch pie dish and set aside.

- In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, heavy cream, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and paprika until well combined.
- 4️⃣ Assemble the Pie
- Spread the cooked sausage evenly over the pie crust. Sprinkle the Monterey Jack and cheddar cheese on top. Pour the egg mixture over the sausage and cheese.
- 5️⃣ Bake to Perfection
- Place in the oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden brown. A knife inserted in the center should come out clean.
- 6️⃣ Cool & Serve
- Let the pie rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with chopped green onions and serve warm!
- Storage Options
- Refrigerator: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat slices in the microwave or oven.
- Freezer: Wrap individual slices in plastic wrap and store in a freezer bag for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.
Notes

• Swap out Monterey Jack for pepper jack cheese for a spicier kick!
