Savory flaky turnovers stuffed with eggs, cheese and ham are a perfect breakfast dish.  Using refrigerated puff pastry, they come together really quickly and they make a statement.  They are deliciously flaky and perfect for brunch!

It is definitely brunch season.  With Easter and Mother’s Day barreling towards us it is a perfect time to dust off all of our favorite breakfast and brunch recipes.

Of course it is also a great time to come up with new favorites! 

I have raved about their puff pastry before.  It is really easy to use because it is refrigerated instead of frozen.

So you don’t have to think ahead to pull it out to thaw.  Plus it is rolled up in parchment paper, so all you have to do is unroll and go! It really couldn’t get any easier.

(They also make a variety of pizza crusts, flat breads, pie crusts and more. They are in the refrigerated section near the cans of biscuit dough and cinnamon rolls etc.)

Of course my brain automatically went straight to doing something sweet.  Perhaps a braid with some cream cheese and fruit or something.

However I did a quick survey of my top fans on Facebook and found out that they were hoping for savory puff pastry recipes.  So of course, that is what I did!

Just start off by making some just barely set scrambled eggs.  They are going to get more cook time in the oven, so you want them to just be cooked enough to hold together.

Add some of your favorite cheese to the mix. I used a really yummy sharp white cheddar, but you can use whatever strikes your fancy.

Some ham adds that salty savory flavor and a nice texture too.  You could very easily toss in some of your favorite veggies as well.

I would just cook them a bit first to cut the moisture content. You don’t want to end up with a soggy bottom!

Arrange your ingredients in the center of your puff pastry and fold them up.  It really doesn’t get much simpler.

Place your hand pies on a baking sheet lined with the parchment provided in the package and you are almost ready to go!  Just give them a quick wash with egg yolk to help them get that super golden color and sprinkle with a bit more cheese.

After about 18 minutes in the oven, breakfast is served.  It is flaky, cheesy and oh so good!

• Eggs Benedict Tarts are a fun way to elevate the brunch classic. It is hard to go wrong with adding flaky layers!
