Flaky & Portable: Savory Breakfast Empanadas Recipe

Today’s Recipe: Savory Breakfast Empanadas

Greetings, foodies! Today, I am excited to share with you my recipe for savory breakfast empanadas. As the mornings are getting cooler and busier, I find myself craving a hearty and portable breakfast option. These flaky, savory hand pies are the perfect solution for a satisfying meal on the go.

To make these delectable savory breakfast empanadas, you will need the following ingredients:

• pie dough (store-bought or homemade)
• cooked breakfast sausage, crumbled (200g)
• shredded cheddar cheese (100g)
• diced bell pepper (50g)
• chopped scallions (30g)
• eggs, beaten (4 large)

For this recipe, you will need the following kitchen tools:

• rolling pin
• round cookie cutter
• baking sheet
• pastry brush

Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out the pie dough on a lightly floured surface and use the round cookie cutter to cut out circles.

In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked breakfast sausage, shredded cheddar cheese, diced bell pepper, chopped scallions, and beaten eggs. Mix until well combined.

Place a spoonful of the sausage and egg mixture onto each pie dough circle. Fold the dough in half to create a half-moon shape and seal the edges with a fork. Place the empanadas on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Brush the tops of the empanadas with a beaten egg wash for a golden finish. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the empanadas are golden brown and crispy.

Once cooked, remove the savory breakfast empanadas from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. These hand pies are perfect for a quick breakfast or brunch, or even as a tasty snack throughout the day.

The approximate total weight of the cooked dish is 600g, with 6 servings at an average weight of 100g per serving. Each serving is approximately 280 calories.

One unique tip for these savory breakfast empanadas is to add a sprinkle of everything bagel seasoning on top before baking for an extra burst of flavor and crunch.

I hope you enjoy making and savoring these savory breakfast empanadas as much as I do. Feel free to customize the fillings to suit your tastes and make this recipe your own. Happy cooking!
