Ingredients
For the dough

- 1/2 tsp salt Balances flavors and enhances the savory components.
- 1/4 cup milk Adds moisture and helps bind the dough.
- 1 piece egg Enriches the dough and helps with browning.
For the filling
- 1 cup cooked and crumbled sausage Adds protein and savory, smoky flavor.
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or your choice) Melts into gooey pockets and adds richness.
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions (optional) Brings fresh, mild onion notes and color.
