  • A Breakfast Pie

    This is another one of our favorite meals. Breakfast, lunch, or dinner !!
    We have cooked this in the oven, in a smoker, on a grill, and in a CI Dutch Oven. We usually smoke them in the Drum.
    I'll post the full recipe at the end. Just a few pics of the process.

    First I fried some pork sausage, drained it and set it aside, saving the drippings for making gravy later.

    Then I rolled out 2 hunks of pie dough(I prefer puff pastry)


    lined a pie tin with 1 sheet of dough


    layered about 1/4 pound of thin sliced ham in the bottom of the pie crust


    added 8 eggs (sometimes 9 or 10), then take a fork and prick the yokes. don't stir the yokes


    now we add another layer of ham ( 1/4 pound ) on top of the eggs and then some pepperjack cheese


    now we layer the top with the pork sausage


    place the other sheet of dough on top, pinch the edges together and trim off the excess. Now brush the top with butter and egg wash


    into the Mini UDS or Keg set for indirect cooking using apple wood for smoke. Cooking temp of drum 350°


    hot out of the smoker after 38 minutes ( maybe a minute or 2 too long). made up the gravy while the pie was cooking


    plated wedge of smoked breakfast pie with gravy


    a little better shot of that wedge of pie.


    Another pie


    Wedge of this pie without gravy


    Thanks for lookin'
