Ingredients

• 8 eggs
• 1 onion, finely diced
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 (8 ounce) container cottage cheese
• 1 teaspoon dried tarragon
• 1 (8 ounce) package shredded Cheddar-Monterey Jack cheese blend
• 2 (9 inch) refrigerated pie crusts

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Step 2

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook celery, onion, and garlic in the hot oil for 1 to 2 minutes. Add sausage, breaking apart to brown; sprinkle in sage and continue browning until no longer pink, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from heat. Add cottage cheese and mix well.

Step 3

Divide meat mixture evenly and spoon into each of the two pie crusts.

Step 4

Whisk eggs, milk, tarragon, salt, and pepper together in a mixing bowl. Pour egg mixture over meat mixture in the pie crusts. Sprinkle Cheddar-Jack cheese over the tops.

Step 5

Bake, uncovered, in the preheated oven on the middle rack until tops are puffed and golden brown, about 40 minutes. Remove from the oven and let stand for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing.

Step 6

Unroll each crust and arrange in two 9-inch pie pans.
