Gluten Free Savory Breakfast Toaster Pastries

Step 1

Prepare your pie crust according to directions. If using Bob's Red Mill pie crust mix, combine mix, butter, and shortening in food processor. Pulse 10 times. Dump into bowl and knead in ice water. Separate dough into two portions, flatten into discs, and chill for one hour.

Step 2

While dough chills, prepare filling. First, scramble eggs and then set aside in a medium bowl for later.

Step 3

Next, saute red onion, chicken sausage and bell pepper. Sprinkle with a bit of salt, then add to previously cooked scrambled eggs. To that, add 2 oz. garlic & herb goat cheese. Stir to combine all ingredients together.

Step 4

When dough is done chilling, remove from refrigerator. Generously sprinkle your surface with rice flour for rolling. Roll dough out, and cut into 3 inch x 5 inch rectangles. You should be able to cut out 16 rectangles total.

Step 5

Top 8 rectangles with a few tablespoons of filling. Brush the edges of the pie crust with a bit of beaten egg. Top with another rectangle of pie crust, and use a fork to crimp around the edges.

Step 6

Brush the tops of the toaster pastries with beaten egg and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Chill in refrigerator for 30 minutes.

Step 7

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. After toaster pastries have chilled, bake them for 18-20 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to slightly cool prior to spreading with remaining goat cheese. To cover all savory breakfast toaster pastries, you may need a second package of goat cheese. Cream cheese also works well for a topping.
