Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground pork sausage
• 1 Premade pie crust
• 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
• 3 Large eggs
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Chopped green onions (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a large skillet, cook the sausage over medium heat, breaking it apart with a spoon, until it is browned and cooked through. Drain and set aside to cool slightly.

Step 3

Place the premade pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish, pressing it into the dish’s bottom and sides. Trim any excess dough from the edges.

Step 4

Sprinkle the cooked sausage into the bottom of the pie crust, followed by the shredded cheddar cheese. If using green onions, sprinkle them evenly on top.

Step 5

In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, salt, and pepper until well-combined.

Step 6

Pour the egg mixture evenly over the sausage and cheese in the pie crust.

Step 7

Place the pie dish on a baking sheet to catch any overflow, then bake in the preheated oven for 35–40 minutes or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown.

Step 8

Remove the sausage pie from the oven and allow it to cool for 5–10 minutes before slicing and serving.
