Description
Savory Breakfast Pop Tarts are a delicious and hearty twist on the classic pastry, filled with cheese, sausage, and scrambled eggs.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
- 6 to 8 tablespoons ice water
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup cooked and crumbled breakfast sausage
- 1/2 cup scrambled eggs
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt, and sugar. Add the chilled butter and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gradually add the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough comes together. Divide the dough in half, shape into disks, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- On a floured surface, roll out one disk of dough to about 1/8-inch thick. Cut into rectangles, approximately 4×6 inches. Repeat with the second disk.
- On half of the rectangles, layer the cheddar cheese, breakfast sausage, and scrambled eggs. Sprinkle with black pepper.
- Place the remaining rectangles on top of the filled ones and press the edges to seal. Use a fork to crimp the edges and create a decorative pattern.
- Brush the tops with the beaten egg. Cut a few small slits in the top of each pop tart to allow steam to escape.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown. Let cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- For a spicier version, add diced jalapeños to the filling.
- You can also substitute the breakfast sausage with cooked bacon or ham for a different flavor.
