Description
Make your own portable breakfast pastries filled with sausage, bacon, egg, and cheese.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
- 1/4 cup cold water
- 1/2 pound breakfast sausage, cooked and crumbled
- 4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 4 large eggs, scrambled
- 4 slices cheddar cheese, cut into small pieces
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- 1 tablespoon milk (for egg wash)
Instructions
- Prepare the pastry dough: Mix flour and salt. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add cold water slowly until the dough just comes together. Divide the dough in half, form into disks, wrap, and chill for 30 minutes.
- Roll out each dough disk to about 1/8 inch thickness. Cut into rectangles, about 4×6 inches.
- Place a spoonful of sausage, bacon, scrambled egg, and cheese pieces on one half of each rectangle, leaving a border.
- Brush the edges of the dough with the egg wash (1 beaten egg mixed with 1 tablespoon milk). Fold the other half of the dough over the filling and press the edges firmly to seal. Crimp the edges with a fork.
- Cut two small slits in the top of each pastry to allow steam to escape.
- Brush the tops of the pastries with the remaining egg wash.
- Bake at 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 Celsius) for 18 to 20 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- You can prepare the filling ingredients ahead of time to speed up assembly.
- For a sweeter crust, mix 1 tablespoon of sugar into the flour mixture.
- If you prefer a glaze, mix powdered sugar with a little milk and drizzle over cooled pastries.
