Tips for Success
- Customize the filling: Add spinach, mushrooms, or even cooked potatoes for a heartier pie.
- Make it spicy: Use hot sausage or add chopped jalapeños for an extra kick.
- Cheese options: While Monterey Jack is traditional, feel free to use cheddar, pepper jack, or even Swiss cheese for a twist.
- Meal prep: This pie can be made ahead of time and reheated. It’s also freezer-friendly for up to 3 months.
Serving Suggestions
Monterey Sausage Pie pairs wonderfully with:
- A crisp green salad with a tangy vinaigrette.
- Roasted or steamed vegetables.
