Equipment

  • Baking Sheet

Ingredients

  • 1 frozen pie crust
  • 6 links of sausage browned
  • 2 tsp olive oil
  • 8 oz button mushrooms sliced
  • 5 eggs
  • 1½ cups whole milk or heavy cream
  • Sea salt and freshly cracked pepper to taste
  • 1 cup sharp cheddar shredded

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
  • Spray a piece of foil with cooking spray, press it gently over the frozen pie crust, and place it in the oven to bake for 10 minutes.
  • Remove the foil and continue to bake for 3-5 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven. Place the foil on the bottom of a baking sheet. Place the pie crust on top.
  • Cook the sausage links in a large skillet over medium heat until just cooked and browned on the outside—they will finish cooking in the oven. Place on a paper towel to drain grease, then cut into bites.  
  • Remove the sausage grease from the pan and add olive oil. Once the pan is hot, add the mushrooms and cook without stirring for 2 minutes, then stir and continue cooking for a minute or two. Remove from the heat. Season with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper to taste.
  • Combine the eggs, milk, sea salt, and freshly cracked pepper to taste in a bowl and whisk until very well combined.
  • Sprinkle most of the sausage into the bottom of the pie crust, followed by most of the mushrooms and cheese.
  • Add the well-whisked egg mixture.
  • Sprinkle the remaining sausage, mushrooms, and cheese on top.
  • Carefully place in the oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the top is set and not wobbly and the eggs are cooked through. Don’t overcook!
