Kitchen Equipment You’ll Need

Mixing bowl

Frying pan

Rolling pin

Pastry brush

Baking sheet

Parchment paper

Fork

Sharp knife or pizza cutter

Tips for Success

Use cold pastry dough for the best flaky results. Don’t overfill, or the filling may leak. Seal the edges well by crimping with a fork. Brush the tops with egg wash to get a nice golden finish. Let them cool slightly before serving to avoid steam burns.

Ingredients

1 package refrigerated pie crusts or homemade pastry dough

4 eggs

½ cup shredded cheddar cheese

4 slices cooked bacon or sausage, crumbled

1 tablespoon milk

Salt and pepper to taste

1 egg (for egg wash)

Directions

Preheat oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a skillet, scramble the 4 eggs with milk, salt, and pepper until just set. Remove from heat and stir in cheese and cooked bacon or sausage. Roll out the pie crusts and cut into rectangles, about 3×4 inches each. Place half of the rectangles on the baking sheet. Spoon a small amount of the egg mixture into the center of each base rectangle, leaving a ½-inch border. Top with another piece of dough and press the edges with a fork to seal. Beat the remaining egg and brush the tops with egg wash. Use a fork to poke a few holes in the tops to allow steam to escape. Bake for 20–25 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool slightly before serving.

Additional Tips or Variations

Add sautéed spinach or bell peppers for a veggie version. Swap cheddar for mozzarella, Swiss, or pepper jack for different flavors. For a spicy kick, add a bit of hot sauce or diced jalapeños to the filling. You can also make mini versions for appetizers or party snacks.
