🛒 Ingredients:
1 lb ground pork sausage

1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded

½ cup Monterey Jack cheese, shredded

1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon dried parsley (or fresh, chopped)

½ teaspoon garlic powder

¼ teaspoon black pepper

¼ teaspoon onion powder

4 large eggs

¾ cup whole milk (or half-and-half for creamier texture)

1 unbaked 9-inch deep-dish pie shell (homemade or store-bought)

👩‍🍳 Instructions:
1️⃣ Preheat and Prep:
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

Place your pie crust into a 9-inch pie plate and set aside.

2️⃣ Cook the Sausage:
In a skillet over medium heat, cook sausage until browned and fully cooked, breaking it into crumbles.

Drain excess grease and let cool slightly.

3️⃣ Mix the Filling:
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, flour, parsley, garlic powder, onion powder, and pepper.

Stir in cooked sausage and both cheeses until evenly combined.

4️⃣ Assemble and Bake:
Pour the mixture into the prepared pie shell.

Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden.

Let cool for 5–10 minutes before slicing.

💡 Tips & Serving Ideas:
Make it spicy: Add diced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce to the mix.

Vegetable boost: Add sautéed spinach, mushrooms, or bell peppers.

Make ahead: Prepare the pie the night before and refrigerate. Just bake in the morning!

Serving idea: Serve with a dollop of sour cream, salsa, or a side salad for a complete meal.

🥄 Storage:
Store leftovers covered in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Reheat in the microwave or oven. Freezes beautifully, too!
