Preheat the oven to 350°F. Place pie shell on cookie sheet. Set aside.
In a non-stick skillet over medium high heat, cook the sausage until no pink remains. Add the green onion and cook for 1 minute longer. Drain excess fat from pan.
Spread ½ sausage mixture in pie shell and sprinkle with ½ shredded cheese. Spread remaining sausage over cheese.
In a medium size mixing bowl whisk together the half and half, eggs, salt, pepper and mustard. Add a few dashes of hot sauce, if desired.
Pour the egg mixture evenly over the sausage filling. Sprinkle with remaining cheese. Place into oven and bake for 45-50 minutes or until the center is set when gently shaken. Check at 30 minutes and lay a piece of aluminum foil on top to prevent over browning if needed.
Allow to rest for 30 minutes. Serve warm.
