Easy Breakfast Hand Pie Ingredients

Homemade hand pies are easy to make and can be so versatile. Choose your ingredients and layer them inside a puff pastry for a flaky and savory meal! Make your eggs light and fluffy, add a little spice, and slice thick ham with a tomato to make the perfect handheld breakfast!

Eggs – These are light and fluffy so you can cook them in a large skillet. Scramble the eggs so they are nice and fluffy with that soft texture. Half and half – This will help the eggs puff up and give them a creamy base when cooking. It also lightens the coloring of the eggs a bit. Green chilies – Added for a bit of heat. If you are not a fan of spice, you can leave these out and even add more if spicy hot is what you like. Ham – If it is possible to purchase your ham from the deli that will be better. You can slice the ham a thicker amounts to give more substance to the savory pocket. Tomato – Slice the tomato a long way so that it will nicely lay on top of the other ingredients. A garden fresh tomato would be best but even a store-bought one is great too! Puff pastry sheets – This will hold all the ingredients together. It is a light and flakey outside crust that everyone loves! Cheddar cheese – As the hand pies are warming up the cheese will begin to melt and give the hand pies that melty cheese appearance.

Tips for Making the Best Breakfast Hand Pies

The layering of these hand pies is very important. Making sure the ham is on the bottom will help avoid any leakage or becoming soggy. Purchase your ham from the deli to be able to cut a thicker slice or if you are not a fan of ham you can always use another source of protein. These are all great tips and variations to try!

Layering the ham – You will want to be sure to put the ham on the bottom. This will help protect the bottom from getting soggy. Closing the pastry – Make sure you leave enough margin on the side of the fillings so that you can seal the sides closed. If the sides aren’t closed well enough, the filling will leak out the sides as the pastry puffs up. Buying ham – For the ham, we got sliced ham from our deli. We asked them to slice it on the thickest setting. If you aren’t able to get ham from the deli counter, you can layer several thinner pieces of ham on top of each other to achieve the same thickness. Other protein – If you don’t want to use ham, you could also use bacon slices or breakfast sausage patties.
