A delicious, hearty dish combining spicy sausage, creamy Monterey Jack cheese, and a gluten-free crust—perfect for breakfast, brunch, or dinner!

Ingredients:

• Crust:

  • 1 ½ cups gluten-free flour blend (like Bob’s Red Mill 1:1)

  • ½ tsp xanthan gum (if not included in flour)

  • ½ tsp salt

  • 6 tbsp cold butter (or dairy-free alternative)

  • 4-6 tbsp ice water

• Filling:

  • 1 lb ground sausage (spicy or mild)

  • 1 small onion, diced

  • 3 eggs

  • ½ cup milk (or dairy-free milk)

  • 1 ½ cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese

  • ½ tsp garlic powder

  • Salt & pepper to taste

  • Optional: diced jalapeños for heat

Instructions:

1. Prepare the crust:

   • Mix GF flour, xanthan gum (if needed), and salt. Cut in cold butter until crumbly.

   • Gradually add ice water until dough forms. Roll out and press into a pie dish. Pre-bake at 375°F (190°C) for 10 mins.

2. Cook the filling:

   • Brown sausage in a skillet, then add onions and peppers until soft. Drain excess fat.

   • Whisk eggs, milk, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a bowl.

3. Assemble & bake:

   • Spread sausage mixture into the crust, sprinkle with cheese, then pour egg mixture over it.

   • Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 30-35 mins, until set and golden.

4. Serve: Let cool slightly before slicing. Great with salsa or sour cream!
