Ingredients
1 pound pork sausage
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
1/3 cup chopped onion
1/4 cup chopped green bell pepper
1/4 cup chopped red bell pepper
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
4 large eggs
1 cup milk
Instructions
1. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the pork sausage until browned, breaking it up as it cooks. Add chopped onion and both bell peppers; sauté for 3-4 minutes. Drain excess grease.
2. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish. Spread the sausage and veggie mixture evenly in the dish.
3. Sprinkle cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses over the sausage mixture.
4. In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, salt, pepper, eggs, and milk until smooth. Pour over the pie dish.
5. Bake uncovered for 30–35 minutes until the center is set and the top is golden.
6. Let cool for 5–10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
Notes
Make sure the sausage is fully drained to avoid a greasy pie.
Use freshly grated cheese for better melt and texture.
Let the pie rest before cutting for cleaner slices.
