How to Make Pie For Breakfast Squash Or Pumpkin

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Cook 1 pound breakfast sausage over medium-high heat, breaking it up with a spoon, until no longer pink. Drain excess grease and let cool completely.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together 4 large eggs, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves.
  4. Add 1 cup peeled, seeded, and cubed butternut squash, 1 cup peeled and diced zucchini, and the cooled sausage to the egg mixture. Stir in 1/2 cup milk or cream and combine well.
  5. Pour the mixture into a 9-inch unbaked pie crust.
  6. Bake for 15 minutes at 425°F (220°C).
  7. Reduce oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue baking for 40-50 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before serving. Chill for at least 2 hours for best results.
