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

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).
  2. Cook chicken sausage in a skillet over medium-high heat for 5–7 minutes, breaking it into small pieces. Remove and set aside.
  3. 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.
  4. Add chopped spinach and cook until wilted. Use the moisture to deglaze the pan.
  5. Mix the cooked sausage with the sautéed vegetables in a bowl.
  6. In another bowl, whisk eggs and milk lightly until combined.
  7. Place the thawed pie crust in a 9-inch pie pan. Spread the sausage and veggie mixture evenly into the crust.
  8. Pour the egg mixture over the filling. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese on top.
  9. Bake for 25–30 minutes until the eggs are set and top is lightly golden.
  10. Let cool for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm.
