Mini Breakfast Pot Pies
  • 1 package pre-made refrigerated pie dough
  • 1/2 lb breakfast sausage
  • 1/2 onion, diced
  • 1/4 cup chopped Cal-Organic carrots
  • 1/4 cup diced peppers
  • 3 Eggland's Best eggs + 1 egg
  • 2 tbsp cream cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Cabot's Sharp Cheddar
For the gravy
  • reserved sausage drippings OR 2 tbsp butter
  • 2 tbsp flour
  • 1/2 cup beef broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • salt and fresh black pepper, to taste

-Generously grease 12 muffin tins and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

-Roll out the pie dough so it's slightly thinner and about 25% larger in diameter. Use the rim of a drinking glass that is slightly larger than your muffin wells to cut out the dough into 12 pieces. Press into greased muffin tins. Cut out 12 more pieces and set aside for the top of the pies.

-In a skillet over medium heat, brown the sausage. Reserve the drippings for the gravy. Add the vegetables and cook until tender. Let cool to room temp and spoon into the prepared muffin tins.

-In a small bowl, beat 3 of the eggs with the cream cheese and shredded cheddar. Pour over the sausage mixture in the muffin tins. 

-Carefully press the remaining dough circles onto the top of the muffin tins and roll in edges. Prick all over with a fork.

-In a separate bowl, beat the remaining egg. Use a brush to brush over the finished pies. Bake for 30 minutes, until the tops of the pies are golden brown.

-While the pies are cooking, prepare the gravy: sprinkle flour over sausage drippings OR butter until a thick paste forms. Slowly add the broth and the cream, adding more flour if needed to desired thickness. Add salt, pepper, and whatever other seasonings you'd like. Serve pies with a generous spoonful of the gravy on top.
