SAUSAGE BREAKFAST POCKETS

SAUSAGE AND BROCCOLINI PIZZA POCKETS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F.
• To a medium skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil and heat until it begins to shimmer. Then add the sausage, cooking and breaking it up into crumbles with a wooden spoon until it begins to brown, about 5 minutes. Transfer the sausage to a medium bowl with a slotted spoon and set aside to cool slightly.
• Add the garlic to the skillet. Stir to combine, being careful not to burn it (reduce the heat if necessary). When the garlic is fragrant and just translucent, add the broccolini and toss to coat in the garlic and olive oil. Cook until just tender, about 7 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.
• Meanwhile, to the medium bowl with the cooked sausage, add the mozzarella, ricotta, Parmesan, lemon zest and black and crushed red pepper to taste. Stir to combine.
• Divide the pizza dough into four equal parts and roll into balls. On a lightly floured work surface, flatten them into circles, about 1/4 inch thick. Spread them each with one-quarter of the cheese mixture, sausage and broccolini, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges. Fold them in half to make a calzone shape, pinch the edges to seal and then transfer the pizza pockets to a pizza peel, pizza stone or baking sheet, 2 inches apart. Bake until lightly browned on top, 10 minutes. Let cool slightly and serve with warm marinara sauce.

SAUSAGE POCKETS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350. Spread out some parchment or a Silpat on a half sheet pan. Cook the sausage and break it up well. Drain off the excess fat. After the sausage is cooked, add the cream cheese and stir it around till it's melted and well mixed. Get a big half sheet pan and roll out half of the crescent rolls. I just break the rolls in half, where they are perforated, when they come out of the can and roll it out on the sheet pan. There will be 4 triangles of crescent rolls that make up the bottom of each Sausage Pocket. Pile on the sausage filling. Put half of the filling on one bottom roll and half on the other. Open up the other can of crescent rolls and break them in half, like before. Roll them out over the top of the filling and press the sides all around to seal. After you get the tops of the pockets put on, you can make an egg wash to brush on top before you stick em in the oven. Just beat 1 egg with a tablespoon of water, then brush it on the tops of the Sausage Pockets. Bake them at 350 for 25 minutes. Cut each of these Sausage Pockets in 8 pieces, so you'll wind up with 16 pieces total. Serve Hot! Try these with gravy, too!

SAUSAGE POCKETS RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Brown the sausage in a skillet over medium heat. Drain on paper towels and wipe out the skillet. Return the sausage to the skillet (off of the heat) and add the cream cheese. Stir together until the cream cheese is melted.
• Open the tube of crescent rolls and unroll onto a work surface. Press together the seams of the triangles leaving the three "scored" rectangles. Cut each rectangle into two squares, making six squares to work with. Press the squares out slightly creating more surface area. Put approximately 1/4 cup sausage cheese mixture in the center of each square. Pull corners up over the center and twist was creating little pockets. Twist and press the seams to make sure they are all sealed.
• Place on a baking sheet or baking stone and bake in a 350-degree oven for 20-22 minutes. Serve warm.
