How to Make the Best Sausage and Egg Breakfast Turnovers

Ingredients you’ll need to make homemade Sausage and Egg Breakfast Turnovers: One box refrigerated pie crusts (i.e. Pillsbury or similar), large eggs, shredded cheese, cream or half and half, salt and black pepper, chopped chives and green onions and breakfast sausage.
Kitchen tools you’ll need: A large baking pan, whisk, medium bowl, cheese grater, measuring cups and spoons, a small bowl to make the egg wash, 10 inch skillet and a pastry brush.
To make a 6-inch pastry round, I used a cereal bow and traced the outline using the tip of a sharp knife to cut each into rounds. While I have quite an assortment of cookie cutters, sometimes cooking calls for improvising. The cereal bowl worked like a charm. If you have a cookie cutter that size, by all means use it.
If you need to make these in advance, after baking let them cool completely before you wrap them and tuck them away in the fridge. This will prevent the crust from becoming soggy. Store chilled in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
You can also fully assemble the turnovers and place them into an airtight container and into the refrigerator overnight. Brush them with egg wash just before baking for make ahead meal prep. Place wax paper between layers if stacking.
This recipe utilizes the combination of sausage, eggs and cheese. You could certainly use bacon, cubed ham or even a vegetable medley of peppers, onion and mushrooms for a vegetarian variation.
If you’d like to add a little kick, substitute pepper-jack cheese for the cheddar. You can also use any flavor of cheese that you have readily on hand.
These hand pies can be baked and frozen, then reheated in a 350°F oven to crisp and heat through.
You can reheat Sausage and Egg Breakfast turnovers in an air fryer, in the microwave or in a 350°F oven until heated through.
