Recipe Instructions

Step 1: Mise en place
- Preheat the oven to 450°F.
- Set the dough aside to come up to room temperature.
- Halve, peel and thinly slice the shallot.
- Mince the garlic.
- Remove the kale leaves from the stems; roughly chop the leaves.
- Sausage meat: In a pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium. Cook, 4 to 6 min. Transfer to the bowl in step 2.

Step 2: Make the filling
- In a medium bowl, beat 1 egg (double for 4 portions) until smooth.
- In a large pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high.
- Add the shallot and garlic. Sauté, 30 sec. to 1 min., until fragrant.
- Add the kale and sauté, 2 to 3 min., until wilted; season with S&P.
- Add the spinach and sauté, 1 to 2 min., until wilted.
- Transfer to the bowl of egg, stirring constantly, 1 min., until combined.
- Add the cheese; stir well and let cool.

Step 3: Prepare the hand pies
- Divide the dough into 4 balls.
- On a lightly oiled work surface, roll or spread each ball into 5-inch rounds.
- Divide the filling between the rounds, leaving a 1-inch border free around the edges.
- Pull the edges of the dough over the filling and pinch to seal.
- Arrange the hand pies, seam-sides down, on a lined sheet pan drizzled with oil.

Step 4: Bake the hand pies
- In a small bowl, beat 1 egg (double for 4 portions) until smooth.
- Brush the hand pies with the egg.
- Drizzle with the honey and sprinkle with the sesame seeds.
- Bake, rotating the pan halfway, 14 to 16 min., until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 5: Plate your dish
- Divide the hand pies between your plates. Bon appétit!
