Tex-mex Breakfast Slab Empanada
  1. Heat oven to 450°F. In 10-inch nonstick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil over medium-high heat. Add sausage and onion. Cook 4 to 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until browned. Stir in chiles and garlic. Transfer to large bowl. Clean out skillet.

  2. In same skillet, heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high heat. Add eggs; cook 30 to 90 seconds, stirring frequently, until eggs are cooked through. Stir eggs and ½ cup of the cheese into sausage mixture in bowl. Cool 10 minutes.

  3. On ungreased rimless large cookie sheet, place 1 pie crust. Spoon sausage mixture evenly over crust, leaving 1-inch border. Top with remaining 1 cup cheese. Moisten edge of bottom crust with water. Gently drape second pie crust over sausage mixture without stretching dough. Press edge of top crust ½ inch from edge of bottom crust. Fold bottom crust edge over top crust edge, and press with fork to seal. With paring knife, make several large cuts in top of crust to vent steam. Brush with melted butter.

  4. Bake 18 to 22 minutes or until golden brown. Cool 10 minutes. Sprinkle with cilantro. Cut in wedges; serve with sour cream.
