25 35 60

Ingredients

1 unbaked pastry shell (9 inches)
1 pound bulk Johnsonville® Ground Sausage
1 small onion, chopped
4 eggs, lightly beaten
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup 2% milk
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1 can (8 ounces) pizza sauce
6 slices part-skim mozzarella cheese

Directions

Line unpricked pastry shell with a double thickness of heavy-duty foil. Bake at 450° for 8 minutes. Remove foil; bake 5 minutes longer. Cool on a wire rack. Reduce heat to 350°.
In a large skillet, cook sausage and onion over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. Transfer to a large bowl. Stir in the eggs, cheddar cheese, milk, oregano and pepper. Pour into crust.
Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Spread pizza sauce over sausage mixture; top with cheese. Bake 5-8 minutes longer or until cheese is melted. Let stand for 10 minutes before cutting. Yield: 6 servings.
