Monterey Sausage Pie is a rich and hearty pie filled with browned sausage, creamy Monterey Jack cheese, and a custard-like mixture of eggs and milk that sets perfectly in the oven.

Perfect for a cozy dinner, weekend brunch, or family gatherings, this pie is simple to prepare yet full of flavor. Serve it warm with a fresh side salad or steamed vegetables for a balanced meal.
