Sausage, Egg, and Cheese Breakfast Pastries

01Method

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and gather all ingredients.

2. 2

   Place a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the sausage pieces until browned on both sides and heated through, about 3 minutes. Set aside.

3. 3

   Crack 4 eggs into a bowl, add water, salt, and pepper, and whisk until fully combined.

4. 4

   Melt butter in a small nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Pour in the egg mixture and cook, stirring frequently, until just barely set and still creamy. Remove from heat.

5. 5

   Unroll one puff pastry sheet onto a lightly floured surface and roll it out slightly. Arrange small portions of scrambled eggs in a 3×4 grid across the sheet.

6. 6

   Distribute the cheese evenly over each egg portion, then place one sausage piece on top of each. Lightly brush water around and between each filled section.

7. 7

   Roll the second pastry sheet out a little larger than the first and lay it loosely over the top.

8. 8

   Press the top pastry down around each filling portion to seal, then cut into 12 individual squares using a pizza cutter or knife.

9. 9

   Firmly press the edges of each square to ensure a proper seal, then transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet.

10. 10

    Beat the remaining egg and brush it over each square, then sprinkle evenly with bagel seasoning.

11. 11

    Bake until the pastries are puffed and deep golden brown, 15 to 18 minutes.
