The Pioneer Woman Uses This Store-Bought Ingredient To Make Restaurant-Quality Breakfast Hand Pies

We’re always looking for ways to switch up our regular breakfast routine. As long as it’s fast, has some protein, and can be eaten on-the-go, it’s for me! Ree Drummond (aka, The Pioneer Woman) just shared a recipe for her breakfast hand pies that fit the bill. These restaurant-quality foods use a store-bought ingredient — so it’s easy to make and yummy to eat!

The Pioneer Woman Just Shared the Secret to Her Perfect Pancakes & This Trick Guarantees a Light & Fluffy Result

Drummond walks you through this recipe on the Food Network’s Instagram page . “Raise your hand if you’d also like to eat alllll of these egg, ham and cheese hand pies! 🙋‍♂️🙋‍♀️” the video of Drummond’s Cheesy Ham & Egg Hand Pies recipe was captioned.

She starts by pouring a butter and whipped eggs mixture into a skillet, along with other ingredients. Once they are scrambled, she puts them in a bowl. Chopped, already cooked ham gets mixed in next, along with cheese, of course, and other ingredients. You could actually just eat these protein-heavy breakfast straight out the bowl if you want! (Although it’s not very morning-commute-friendly.)

But if you do want to finish the recipe, Drummond uses store-bought pastry dough, which she cuts into 3-by-5-inch rectangles. She fills the pastry rectangle with her egg mixture and presses another dough rectangle on top, crimping along the edge with a fork. After a few more toppings, Drummond bakes them and cuts them in half. She called the finished pastry “so perfect!” and we couldn’t agree more.

People praised this recipe, which is also shared on Food Network’s website. “This is a family favorite,” one 5-star reviewer wrote. “I have made it several times for both lunch and dinner — pairing it with a salad or vegetable side dish. Even my teenage son loves them! Only thing we do to adjust the recipe is leave out the poppy seeds.”

“Great recipe and super easy!” another happy reviewer wrote. “I used everything bagel seasoning in place of the poppy seeds for more flavour. Very versatile, the filings could be endless.” Someone else suggested using sausage instead of ham, which “came out wonderful!” There are so many possibilities for this quick and easy recipe!

Pancakes, waffles, bagels, and even croissants get all the attention when it comes to breakfast pastries, but you are not going to want to sleep on these breakfast hand pies! They are so good and easy to eat on your drive to work.
