CONFETTI SCRAMBLED EGG POCKETS

Steps:

Cook and stir over medium heat until eggs are completely set. Stir in the tomato and green onion. Spoon about 2/3 cup into each pita half. Serve with salsa if desired.

SCRAMBLED-EGG AND SAUSAGE POCKET PASTRIES

Steps:

• Pulse both flours, sugar, and 2 teaspoons salt in a food processor to combine. Add butter and pulse just until small pieces remain. Add 6 tablespoons ice water and pulse until dough just starts to clump together. Add more water, 1 tablespoon at a time, if necessary.
• Turn dough out onto a clean work surface; divide in half. Wrap each half in plastic and press to form a flat rectangle. Refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour and up to 1 day, or freeze up to 1 month.
• On a lightly floured piece of parchment, roll out each piece of dough into a 10-by-14-inch rectangle. Refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, whisk together 6 eggs, milk, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high. Add sausage and cook, turning occasionally and breaking into small pieces with a wooden spoon, until browned, about 8 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to a bowl. Remove all but 1 tablespoon fat from pan, reduce heat to medium, and add egg mixture. Cook, stirring, until eggs are soft and just set, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat, sprinkle with cheese and chives, and stir in sausage. Let cool slightly.
• Preheat oven to 425 degrees with racks in upper and lower thirds. Transfer one rectangle of dough on parchment to a baking sheet. Arrange filling into nine 2 1/2-by-3 1/2-inch rectangles on dough (in a 3-by-3 grid), leaving a 1-inch border all around. Whisk remaining egg; brush borders between filling with egg wash. Top with remaining rectangle of dough. Using the sides of your hands, gently press dough to seal egg-wash grid. Using a pizza cutter, cut into 9 rectangles.
• Divide pockets between 2 parchment-lined baking sheets. Use a fork to score edges of each pastry. Brush tops with egg wash, then dock a few vents in top crusts with fork. Season with pepper. Refrigerate until firm, 15 minutes.
• Bake, rotating sheets once, until golden brown, about 30 minutes. Let cool slightly before serving.

PERFECT SCRAMBLED EGGS

Steps:

• Whisk the eggs: Whisk 3 large eggs, 1 pinch of kosher salt, 1 grind of black pepper and 3 tablespoons whole milk together until light and foamy.
• TIP: Odds are you're going to be serving these on a plate. If so, I strongly suggest you park an ovensafe one in a low oven or in hot water while you're cooking. Cold plates suck the heat right out of food.
• Add to the pan: Add 1 tablespoon unsalted butter to a 10-to-12-inch nonstick skillet and put it over high heat. When the butter bubbles (after about a minute), pour the eggs straight into the middle of the pan, which will force the butter to the edges, where it's needed.
• Scramble the eggs: Stir slowly with a rubber or silicone spatula. As soon as curds (big soft lumps) of eggs begin to form, drop the heat to low and shift from stirring to folding the curds over on themselves while gently shaking the pan with the other hand.
• Let rest: As soon as no more liquidous egg is running around the pan, kill the heat and gently transfer the scramble to the warmed plate. Let the eggs rest for 1 minute to finish cooking before serving.
