Ingredients
  

  • 1 sheet puff pastry thawed
  • 4 slices turkey bacon cooked, drained, and crumbled
  • 3 large eggs
  • ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese divided
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter
  • ½ teaspoon dried basil optional
  • Salt to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Lightly flour a work surface and roll the puff pastry into a square if needed.
  • Cut the pastry into three equal rectangles.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, dried basil, salt, and black pepper.
  • Stir in half of the shredded cheddar cheese.
  • Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Pour in the egg mixture and gently stir until the eggs are softly scrambled and just cooked through.
  • Remove the eggs from the heat.
  • Spoon the scrambled eggs onto one half of each pastry rectangle, leaving a small border around the edges.
  • Sprinkle each with the remaining cheddar cheese and top with crumbled turkey bacon.
  • Fold the empty half of each pastry over the filling.
  • Press the edges together with a fork to seal completely.
  • Brush each pie with melted butter.
  • Sprinkle a little extra cheddar cheese over the tops if desired.
  • Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed, crisp, and golden brown.
  • Let the Breakfast Hand Pies cool for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

These hand pies are delicious served with fresh fruit, yogurt, hash browns, or a simple green salad. Add a drizzle of hot sauce or your favorite breakfast sauce for extra flavor.
For a vegetarian version, simply omit the turkey bacon and add sautéed spinach, mushrooms, or diced peppers.
