Ingredients

  • 1 14 oz box refrigerated pie crusts (2 crusts)
  • 6 oz breakfast sausage cooked and crumbled
  • 5 large eggs
  • 2 Tbsp cream or half and half
  • 1 tsp chopped fresh chives
  • Seasoned salt and black pepper to taste
  • 2 cups any variety shredded cheese Colby jack, cheddar, pepper jack (use your favorite)
  • 1 large egg beaten with 1 tsp cold water for egg wash

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
  • On a lightly floured non-stick surface use a rolling pin to roll the pie crust thinner, large enough to fit three 6-inch circles. Trace the outline of a 6-inch bowl with a sharp knife. Re-roll the scraps and form a 4th round. Repeat with both pie crusts. Set aside.
  • Egg Filling: Whisk together 5 eggs, cream, seasoned salt, black pepper and chives. Pour into a non stick skillet and soft scramble.
  • Assemble: Place 1/2 shredded cheese in the middle of each round. Top with scrambled egg, cooked sausage and remaining shredded cheese.
  • Brush the edges of the pastry rounds with the egg wash then fold over. Use the tines of a fork to seal the edges. Transfer to parchment paper lined sheet pan.
  • Brush the turnovers with egg wash on all sides and cut one or two slits in the center of each using a sharp knife.
  • Place into the oven to bake for 18-20 minutes until golden. Serve immediately.
