I made this Italian Sausage Pie last night for dinner because I had the sausage and the pie crust that I didn’t have any plans for. I’m soooo glad I did.
This was AH-MAZING! So good!
It’s a cheesy blend of eggs, sausage, and other staple ingredients that’s great for either dinner or breakfast!
I frequently make frittatas which is just a crustless egg pie. But this was my first time using a crust. Adding the crunch of the crust makes a big difference in the texture of the dish.
I’ll be making more pies with different ingredients in the near future.

Easy to make and sooo good! Have it for breakfast, lunch or dinner.
- 1 pound Bulk Italian Sausage
- 3 teaspoons Minced Garlic
- 1 diced bell pepper
- 1 small onion diced
- 2 1/2 cups Shredded Monterey Jack Cheese Divided
- 1 cup Milk
- 3 whole Eggs
- 3/4 cups self rising flour
- 1/4 teaspoons black Pepper
- 1 9 inch deep dish pie crust
- In a large skillet, cook the sausage over medium heat until meat is no longer pink. Add garlic, bell pepper and onion; cook a few minutes longer. Drain. Stir in 2 cups of the cheese. Transfer to a 9-inch deep-dish pie crust.
- In a small bowl, combine the milk, eggs, flour and black pepper. Pour over sausage mixture.
- Bake at 400°F for 20-25 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.
- Sprinkle with remaining cheese; bake 1-2 minutes longer or until cheese is melted.
- Let stand for 10 minutes before cutting.
Tips and Tidbits About Italian Sausage Pie
One big tip, LET IT REST when it’s done, it will firm up! I would say at least 15 min. to 1/2 hour.
Also, this would be even better (if possible) with a side of spaghetti or pizza sauce.
You can make this frittata style in a deep-dish pie plate. Just up the eggs to 8.
Enjoy!
