Chicken Sausage Hand Pies are cute all on their own, but put them with other pies and they are even more adorable – kind of like puppies. Plus, they are fun to make. …but wait! I’m not done yet – there is a double plus. They taste great! …but,oh, wait – there’s more! There is a triple plus found at the end of my post – a surprise.
I’m so pleased for the opportunity to work, once again, with Jones Dairy Farm. I have mentioned my love of their products in other posts and these are two of my favorites: Wild Rice, Jones Sausage & Apple Stuffing and Pepper Jelly Hawaiian Grilled Cheese.
No matter which product you choose, you will end up happy. Jones Dairy products are all-natural with no added chemicals or preservatives and have superb taste. Many of their products are gluten-free including the All-Natural Golden Brown Chicken Sausage Patties used in today’s recipe.
I love easy breakfasts and Chicken Sausage Hand Pies fit that criteria. Here is the quick version of how to make them:
Sauté diced apples and onions until tender. While apples and onions cook, roll out pie crust and cut out eight 4” circles. Place one sausage patty on each circle, top with apples & onions, top with cheese, top with another circle of crust, seal the hand pies with egg wash and bake until golden. Easy as pie. Now is the time to relax, sip a cup of hot java and read the paper before breakfast is ready.
These Chicken Sausage Hand Pies are being saved for you, my special guest. Would you like your coffee black or with cream?
Enjoy!
I mentioned a “triple-plus” in my infomercial in the first paragraph and here is the surprise: Jones Dairy Farm would love for you to sign up for their National Breakfast Month Prize Pack Giveaway.
It includes all kinds of useful and fun kitchen items to use when making breakfast and would be so fun to win. Just look at that cute piggy towel and that fantastic griddle.
