Ingredients Description
Chicken sausage provides a flavorful, protein-packed base. Onion and mushrooms bring a savory depth, while spinach adds freshness and nutrients. Eggs and milk create a creamy texture, and Parmesan cheese adds a cheesy, salty finish. The premade pie crust holds it all together for a quick and easy bake.
Cooking Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).
- Cook chicken sausage in a skillet over medium-high heat for 5–7 minutes, breaking it into small pieces. Remove and set aside.
- In the same pan, sauté chopped onion for 2–3 minutes until soft. Add mushrooms, salt, and pepper, and cook for another 2–3 minutes.
- Add chopped spinach and cook until wilted. Use the moisture to deglaze the pan.
- Mix the cooked sausage with the sautéed vegetables in a bowl.
- In another bowl, whisk eggs and milk lightly until combined.
- Place the thawed pie crust in a 9-inch pie pan. Spread the sausage and veggie mixture evenly into the crust.
- Pour the egg mixture over the filling. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese on top.
- Bake for 25–30 minutes until the eggs are set and top is lightly golden.
- Let cool for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm.
