With one box of Butter Puff Pastry yielding 8 Breakfast Tourtiere Pastry Rolls, 24 Snack Bites or 32 Appetizer. Any leftover meat can be frozen and used again with another box of Butter Puff Pastry to have these anytime on demand.

This recipe is made with already prepared Tourtiere Pie filling used while making Tourtiere Pie. Half the portion is used for the Pie, with the remaining filling used to make this recipe quite a few times. If making this from scratch, it will take quite a bit of time to make the Tourtiere Pie filling. 

Any leftover meat filling can be portioned into 2/3 C or 150g portions and frozen to make these again at a later time.

Egg Wash

The Egg wash is used to seal the Pastry as well as brushing the tops so that it cooks up golden, yielding that wonderful glistening color. Just combine the ingredients and whisk with a fork. Use to seal the Pastry and Brush on top after slicing the Pastry Rolls to vent steam.

Tourtiere Pastry Roll Filling

The filling used is Tourtiere meat, which takes a long time to make, about 4–5 hours. For this reason, I make these while making Tourtiere Pie. Use about half of the meat for Tourtiere Pie and the remaining meat for these. They make for an excellent breakfast or snack during the Holidays.

You can also make the entire Tourtiere Meat filling for just the Tourtiere Pastry Rolls. Use 1–2 boxes of Pastry at a time or 3-4 for a large crowd, and portion out the leftover Tourtiere Pie Filling into 2/3 C or 150g portions to freeze and make more later.

Tourtiere Pastry Roll Size

How much Meat filling used is important. Because too little, and you get more pastry than meat filling, and too much just the opposite. Use 2/3 C or about 150 g of the Tourtiere Meat Filling per 1/2 sheet (10×5 inches) of Butter Puff Pastry (10 inch squared) to create two Breakfast Tourtiere Pastry Rolls. These can further be sliced into Snack Bites or Appetizer size.
