Breakfast Hand Pies A Savory Breakfast Treat

Breakfast Hand Pies

These breakfast hand pies are so yummy. We got the idea for this recipe from The Stone Lizard Lodge in Blanding, Utah. The Stone Lizard Lodge is a very special place to us. My grandparents built, owned, and operated the original motel, known as Motel Blanding. It later changed ownership and became the Stone Lizard Lodge. We try to stay there every time we head to Southeastern Utah. They serve the most wonderful breakfast including homemade cinnamon rolls and of course these “savory pockets” as they call them. Naturally, we wanted to recreate the savory pockets at home and we made these!

Tips for Making Breakfast Hand Pies

The layering of these hand pies is very important. First, make sure to put the ham on the bottom – it protects the bottom from getting soggy. Additionally, make sure you leave enough margin on the side of the fillings so that you can crimp the sides closed. If the sides aren’t closed well enough, the filling will leak out the sides as the pastry puffs up. 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. However, if you don’t want to use ham, you could also use bacon slices or sausage patties. READ NEXT: 33+ Super Easy Breakfast Ideas
