### 👩🍳 How to Make It:
**1. Preheat the Oven**
Set your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place your pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish and set aside.
**2. Cook the Sausage Mixture**
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage and chopped onion until browned and fully cooked. Drain any excess grease. If adding bell peppers or green chilies, stir them in during the last few minutes of cooking.
**3. Layer the Cheese and Sausage**
Sprinkle half the shredded cheese onto the pie crust. Add the sausage mixture evenly over the cheese, then top with the remaining cheese.
**4. Mix and Pour the Egg Mixture**
In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, cream, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Pour this mixture over the sausage and cheese, allowing it to settle into the pie evenly.
**5. Bake Until Golden and Set**
Place the pie on the middle rack and bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden brown. Let it rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing.
