Sundays are days that usually start out really slow for us. If I cook breakfast (and I usually do), we end up eating around 10:30 am. I wanted to try and avoid that this weekend, so I made breakfast Saturday night so that we could just reheat it the next morning. Below you’ll find my version of Rachael Ray’s Biscuit-Crusted Sausage-Egg Pie. I actually made 2 pies – one with sausage, the other with chicken. The sausage one turned out pretty good, and I have high hopes for the one with chicken, which is in the freezer right now.
Biscuit Crusted Sausage Pie
non-stick cooking spray
1/2 lb bulk pork sausage with sage
1/2 recipe of your favorite biscuit recipe
1/2 red onion, sliced very thin
2 oz diced farmer’s cheese
2 large eggs plus 2 large egg yolks
1/2 c milk
salt & pepper
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. In a non-stick skillet, cook sausage, crumbling it as it cooks, until browned and cooked through. Drain and set aside to cool.
Grease a 9″ round pie place. Press the biscuit dough into the pie plate so it’s even all the way around, and comes up to the top of the pan. (If you’re using a rolled biscuit dough recipe, roll the dough out into a circle that will fit the pie plate.)
In a medium bowl, combine cooked sausage, red onion slices and diced cheese, then spread evenly over the crust. In the same bowl, beat eggs, egg yolks, milk, and salt and pepper. Pour the egg mixture over the sausage mixture. Bake until the middle is set, about 25 to 35 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes before serving.
If you’re making this ahead, reheat in a 350 degree oven for about 15 to 20 minutes. If you’ve frozen the baked pie, thaw it in the fridge before reheating.
