Description
Sausage and Egg Breakfast Pies are a delicious and hearty breakfast option, perfect for any morning.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound breakfast sausage
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 6 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 package (1 lb) refrigerated pie crusts (2 crusts)
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage until browned and fully cooked, breaking it apart with a spatula. Drain any excess grease and set aside to cool slightly.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined. Stir in the cooked sausage and shredded cheddar cheese.
- Roll out one pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie pan. Pour the sausage and egg mixture into the crust.
- Roll out the second pie crust and place it over the filling. Crimp the edges to seal and cut a few slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is set.
- Let cool for 10 minutes before slicing.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add 1/2 teaspoon of red pepper flakes to the egg mixture.
- You can also substitute the cheddar cheese with pepper jack or mozzarella for a different flavor profile.
