To save on labor, the recipe starts with frozen pie dough sheets. The filling is a combo of local boudin sausage and pepper jack cheese, but breakfast links or Italian sausage make a fine substitute.

Huya Craft Coffee
Youngsville, La.
At Huya Craft Coffee in Youngsville, La., co-owners Kily LaGarde and David and Shayna Hines, submitted their version of a pop tart in the 2020 Neighborhood to Nation recipe contest and it was one of 20 winners. To save on labor, the recipe starts with frozen pie dough sheets. The filling is a combo of local boudin sausage and pepper jack cheese, but breakfast links or Italian sausage makes a fine substitute. The savory tart is finished with a glaze made with jarred pepper jelly. Huya Craft Coffee expanded the winning idea into several other pop tart variations, such as a sweet version filled with cookie butter and strawberry, as well as flavors including caramel apple, peanut butter & jelly and s’mores.
