Breakfast Pies

1 batch Whole-Wheat Pie Dough (click here for directions)
5 egg whites
2 eggs
1/4 cup milk
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1  onion, chopped
1 green or red pepper, chopped
4 oz breakfast sausage (the kind that comes in a roll)
3/4 cup shredded cheese


In large bowl whisk together the egg whites and full eggs, milk, salt and pepper, set aside.

In large skillet cook meat (like you would ground beef), drain off the grease and transfer meat to a large plate or glass bowl.

Using your dirty, greasy skillet that you just browned the meat in, cook your onions and peppers over med-high heat until tender. re-add (approx) 4oz of sausage that you just cooked. Let cool while you deal with the crust.


Now turn your oven on to 350.

Coat 12 muffin cups with spray or use an oiled paper towel

On a lightly floured surface roll out your pie crust to 1/8" thick (not too thin that you can't pick up an edge w/o it tearing).

Use a 4-5" round cookie cutter (or an upside down cup) to cut out circles, place circles in muffin tin
Repeat until all crust is gone or you have at least 12 circles (whichever you prefer).

Combine your egg and now-cooled, meat mixture and carefully spoon into your crust-lined cups. Sprinkle each cup with cheese (skip to save calories). Then bake ~30 min or until pies are set and crust is golden brown. Serve warm.
