My mother called me over the other day because she said she had found a breakfast idea for me in their newspaper. So, I paid her a visit and she gave me a clipped photo that had the subtitle "spinach-fennel sausage breakfast hand pie." I thought this idea was a great one, so I ran with it and made my own version based on the picture and my imagination. The filling is a simple mixture of mild Italian sausage and chard. The crust is made hearty and nubbly with cornmeal -- one of my favorite additions to any savory tart or pie -- but is still fabulously light and flaky. It is adapted from Deb's galette crust on Smitten Kitchen.
