Equipment
- 1 pie pan or dish
- 1 Small Mixing Bowl
- 1 chopping board
Ingredients
- 6-8 large eggs
- 1 poblano pepper, chopped
- 8 strips of bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 1 ½ cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 ½ cups shredded pepper jack cheese
- 1 cup cooked ground sausage
- 1 pre-made pie crust
- Butter, for brushing the top after baking
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F.
- In a small bowl, whisk the eggs until well combined.
- Place the pie crust into a pie pan, ensuring it is evenly pressed along the bottom and sides.
- Layer 1 ½ cups of shredded pepper jack cheese across the bottom of the pie crust.
- Evenly sprinkle the crumbled bacon and cooked ground sausage over the cheese.
- Pour the whisked eggs into the pie pan, ensuring they spread evenly over the filling.
- Top the eggs with chopped poblano pepper for a bit of Southern spice.
- Finish with a layer of sharp cheddar cheese.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes, checking occasionally to ensure it doesn’t over-brown. The pie is done when it has a golden brown top and is fully set in the center.
- After removing the pie from the oven, brush the top with butter for a rich finish.
- Allow the pie to cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve and enjoy!
