Description

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (226g) cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • 1/3 cup (80ml) ice water
  • 6 large eggs (plus 1 extra for egg wash)
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) milk
  • 1 cup (113g) shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup (75g) cooked breakfast sausage, crumbled
  • 1/4 cup (35g) diced red bell pepper
  • 1/4 cup (40g) diced onion
  • 2 tablespoons fresh chives, chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, and salt. Add cold butter cubes and work into flour until mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized butter pieces visible.
  2. Gradually add ice water, stirring until dough just comes together. Form into a disk, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  3. While dough chills, sauté onion and bell pepper until soft, about 3-4 minutes. Add sausage, cook 2 minutes more, then set aside to cool.
  4. Whisk eggs and milk, season with salt and pepper. Scramble until just set but still slightly moist. Allow to cool.
  5. Combine cooled eggs, sausage mixture, cheese, and chives in a bowl.
  6. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  7. Roll chilled dough to 1/8-inch thickness on a floured surface. Cut into 5-inch circles.
  8. Place 2-3 tablespoons filling in the center of each circle, leaving a 3/4-inch border.
  9. Brush edges with egg wash, fold over to create half-moons, and press edges to seal. Crimp with a fork.
  10. Brush tops with egg wash and cut a small vent in each pocket.
  11. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown, rotating pans halfway through.
  12. Cool on wire rack for at least 5 minutes before serving.
