Cooking Instructions
  1. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and cook breakfast sausage until browned and crispy, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Sprinkle flour over the sausage and stir to combine, then whisk in milk gradually, cooking until thickened, about 4-5 minutes.
  3. Scramble eggs in a separate pan over medium heat until fluffy, about 3-4 minutes, then set aside to cool.
  4. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare pastry dough if not using store-bought.
  5. Whisk together egg, vinegar, and cold water in a small bowl, then combine with dry ingredients until smooth.
  6. Roll out dough to ⅛-inch thickness and cut into rectangles measuring 3x4 inches.
  7. Assemble pop-tarts by layering sausage gravy and scrambled eggs between two rectangles, sealing edges.
  8. Bake assembled pop-tarts on a parchment-lined baking sheet for about 25 minutes until golden brown.
  9. Let cool for 5 minutes on a wire rack before serving.
