Tips on Making Breakfast Pie

Making breakfast pies is incredibly easy especially with this sausage pie recipe. Additionally, it is highly customizable to whatever ingredients are available to you. Learn more with these helpful tips on making this breakfast egg pie:

Choose whole milk over skim or low-fat milk to give the filling a good creamy flavor. Alternatively, you can also sour cream or heavy cream.

Aside from using crescent rolls, you can also use puff pastry, biscuits, or homemade pie crust for this recipe.

Add other delicious ingredients to the pie. You can add grated garlic, peas, spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, beans, leftover rotisserie chicken, or quail eggs, for instance. However, make sure that the ingredients you’ll be adding are not too juicy. Otherwise, it will end up being watery. Sauteeing them before adding them to your filling will help remove excess moisture.

Top it with more cheese. It’ll turn into a gooey melty grilled cheese topping once it’s done!

Turn it into an easy breakfast pot pie by covering it with a thin sheet of dough. You will need to slice a few slits on the top dough and add 10 to 15 minutes more baking time for it to cook through.

Make the personal-sized breakfast pies in ramekins or muffin tins. In addition, you can customize the fillings and toppings of each small pie.

Finally, make it ahead of time. Keep it in a sealed container in the fridge, then reheat them in the microwave on High for 30 seconds when you’re ready to serve them.
