Cowboy Breakfast Pastry

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.

Sausage Mixture

1. In a medium skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage, onion, green pepper, and red pepper until the vegetables are tender and the sausage is cooked through. (Pork sausage is fully cooked when it reaches an internal temperature of 160°F.) Remove from heat and set aside. (This will make about 1¼ cups.)

Pastry

1. On a lightly floured surface, lay out each sheet of puff pastry. Roll each sheet into a 10x10-inch square. Cut each pastry sheet into 4 equal squares, about 5x5 inches each, making a total of 8 squares.
2. Arrange the puff pastry squares evenly onto the prepared baking sheets.

Assembly

1. Top the middle of each square with ¼ cup of scrambled eggs and about 2½ tablespoons of the sausage mixture.
2. Sprinkle about 2 tablespoons of shredded cheese on top of each pastry.
3. Fold each of the corners onto the top, forming a smaller square.
4. Brush the outside of the pastry squares with the beaten egg.
5. Bake for 16-18 minutes, or until golden brown.
