Ingredients
1 deep-dish pie crust
8 oz ground breakfast sausage
3/4 cup roasted red bell peppers, chopped
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
4 large eggs
1 cup half-and-half or whole milk
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Pre-bake the pie crust for 10 minutes until lightly golden. Let cool slightly.
2. In a skillet, cook sausage over medium heat until browned. Break into crumbles and drain excess fat.
3. In a bowl, whisk together eggs, half-and-half, salt, and pepper until smooth. Stir in cheese, sausage, and red peppers.
4. Pour mixture into the pre-baked crust. Distribute the filling evenly.
5. Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden. A knife should come out clean.
6. Cool for 10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with parsley if using.
Notes
Blind bake the crust for best texture and no sogginess.
Cool the sausage before adding to the egg mixture to prevent curdling.
Use whole milk or half-and-half to get the richest, creamiest filling.
