  7. Pour the batter evenly over the sausage and cheese mixture.
  8. Bake for 30-37 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.

  10. Bake for an additional 3-5 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  11. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
