Ingredients

Scale

Pie Crust

  • 1 package refrigerated pie crust (contains 2 pie crusts)

Filling

  • 2 Tablespoons butter (divided)
  • ½ onion, thinly sliced
  • ¾ cup breakfast sausage, cooked and crumbled (optional substitute: bacon)
  • 5 eggs (divided)
  • 1 Tablespoon milk
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Topping

  • 1 Tablespoon Everything Bagel Seasoning

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C) to prepare for baking the breakfast pockets later.
  2. Prepare Pie Dough: Carefully roll out the refrigerated pie dough and cut each crust into 6 rectangles measuring approximately 3 by 4 inches, totaling 12 rectangles.
  3. Caramelize Onions: Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a small skillet over low heat. Add the thinly sliced onions and a pinch of salt. Cook slowly, stirring frequently, until the onions turn golden brown and caramelized, about 25 minutes.
  4. Cook Scrambled Eggs: While onions cook, heat the remaining butter in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Whisk together 4 of the eggs and milk. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Gently push the cooked egg from edges to center as curds form until eggs are cooked through. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Assemble Breakfast Pockets: Lay 6 pie crust rectangles on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Evenly divide the scrambled eggs, cooked sausage, caramelized onions, and shredded cheddar cheese on top of each rectangle, reserving 2 tablespoons of cheese for topping.
  6. Seal Pockets: Make an egg wash by whisking the remaining egg with 1 tablespoon of water. Brush the edges of the filled rectangles with the egg wash, then carefully place the remaining pie crust rectangles on top. Gently stretch the top crusts if needed to fit the filling. Crimp the edges together firmly with a fork to seal.
  7. Final Touches and Bake: Brush the tops of each hand pie with the remaining egg wash. Sprinkle with Everything Bagel Seasoning and the reserved shredded cheddar cheese. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the pockets turn golden brown.

Notes

  • For a bacon substitute, cooked and crumbled bacon can replace sausage.
  • Be patient when caramelizing onions low and slow develop the deepest flavor.
  • Use a fork to crimp edges well to avoid leaking filling during baking.
  • Serve warm for best flavor and texture.
