Break the meat into small crumbles and brown it 5-6 minutes until no pink remains, then drain. Fat left in the pan turns the base greasy where they touch.
Pull the base when the edges are set and the center still moves a little. It firms during the second bake and again during the 5-minute rest.
Half a cup spread edge to edge is plenty. A thick layer soaks the custard base and the wedges slump.
Edges that cup and crisp in the final 8-10 minutes are the doneness signal. A minute under the broiler adds charred spots if you want them.
Five minutes lets the egg base set so wedges lift out clean. Cut sooner and the first piece turns into a scoop.
Cut the pie into wedges in the pan and bring it to the table whole, since the round shape reads as pizza night. At 5.0 net carbs a serving it fits a weeknight without any math. A sharp green salad on the side keeps the plate balanced, and extra grated Parmesan at the table never hurts. The base is richest hot from the oven, though leftovers hold up at room temperature too. Set out crushed red pepper for anyone who wants heat.
Cool leftovers in the pan, then cover and refrigerate for 3-4 days. Wedges reheat well in a covered skillet over low heat, or in the oven at the recipe's 400°F until the cheese softens again. The microwave is faster but turns the base spongy. Freezing works for 2-3 months if you wrap individual wedges well, though the egg base is a little denser after thawing. Thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating so the middle warms through evenly.
Ricotta adds body and a mild tang, but an extra egg plus 2 tbsp of heavy cream stands in reasonably well. Expect a slightly softer base.
Usually the sauce layer was too thick or the sausage was not drained. Keep the sauce thin, drain the meat, and pull the first bake when the center barely jiggles.
A square 8x8 pan matches a 9-inch round closely in area, so keep the same times and watch for the barely-jiggling cue. A much larger pan spreads the base thin and bakes fast.
It browns 5-6 minutes until no pink remains before it goes on the pie, and the second bake heats everything further. Ground pork is done at 165°F internal, so check a large crumble if you want certainty.
Brown the sausage up to two days ahead and refrigerate it. Bake the base fresh, since the custard loses lift when it sits before going into the oven.
