Puff pasty breakfast hand pies.

I bet you thought I was going to say a burrito and that would usually be the normal thing for me, but these Breakfast Hand Pies are seriously tasty. Pepperidge Farm Puff Pastry Sheets have been around forever and there’s just way too many recipes that you can use them for. As a baker I know how long it takes to make puff pastry, the folding then rolling, and keeping the butter chilled to prevent a soggy mess are only a few tasks to end up with the perfect pastry. Luckily you can pick up Pepperidge Farm Puff Pastry Sheets in the freezer section of your local store ready to go. Totally hassle free. These hand pies are easy to make and all the cooking is done in one pan! Chunks of sweet maple sausage, potatoes, egg and fresh rosemary. Use a cookie cutter to cut some pastry circles and fill them with the maple sausage breakfast mixture. Add a little egg wash around the sides of the pastry and add another circle for the top. See how easy these are to make! Before you throw them in the oven, sprinkle with some extra cheese and chopped rosemary, that cheese will melt and become nice and bubbly.

Easy breakfast hand pies.

Since Breakfast Hand Pies are a savory item, ketchup or hot sauce would definitely be my chosen condiments, but because of the sweet maple sausage, make sure to also have some extra syrup for drizzling over the hot hand pies!Sweet meets savory and breakfast just went from boring cereal to flaky pastry heaven!
