  • Making the filling: Cut the sausage in half lengthwise; cut cross- wise into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Combine the sausage, onion, and garlic in a 12-inch cast iron skillet; cook over medium-high heat until the sausage is browned and the onion is softened, stirring occasionally. Add the black-eyed peas, broth, greens, and hot pepper sauce; mix well. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer 10 minutes.

  • Make the topping: Combine the topping ingredients in a large bowl, stirring until blended. Pour the batter just around the edge of the sausage mixture in the skillet. Bake until the topping is golden brown, 30 to 35 minutes.

  • Serve with desired garnishes.

Chef's Notes

Optional garnishes: Sour cream, pickeled jalapeño chile slices, and/or fresh parsley or cilantro leaves.
