Ingredients
  

For the Pastry
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 cup cold unsalted butter cubed
  • 1/2 cup ice water
For the Filling
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup cooked breakfast sausage crumbled
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped green onions
  • Salt and pepper to taste
For the Egg Wash
  • 1 large egg beaten
  • 1 tablespoon water

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, salt, and sugar for the pastry dough.
  2. Cut the cold butter into the flour mixture using a pastry cutter or fingers until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Gradually add ice water and mix until the dough just comes together; avoid overmixing.
  4. Form the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes.
Cooking
  1. In a medium bowl, beat the eggs and season with salt and pepper, then scramble them gently in a non-stick pan until just set; remove from heat.
  2. Stir in the cooked sausage, shredded cheddar, and green onions; allow the filling to cool slightly.
  3. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  4. On a floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to about 1/8 inch thickness and cut into 8 rectangles of equal size.
Finishing
  1. Place a tablespoon of filling on 4 rectangles, leaving a border; brush edges with egg wash, then top with remaining rectangles and press edges to seal.
  2. Use a fork to crimp edges and poke a few holes on top to vent steam; brush the tops with egg wash.
  3. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until golden brown and puffed; allow to cool slightly before serving.
