Instructions:

- Remove the skillet from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
- Roll out the puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface if needed.
- Cut each sheet into equal-sized squares or circles, depending on your preference, ensuring they are large enough to hold some filling and be folded over or topped.

- In a small bowl, whisk together the 2 eggs and 1 cup of light sour cream until well combined.

- Optionally, you can cut small slits on the top to allow steam to escape.
- Brush the tops of the pies with a little beaten egg or milk if desired for a golden finish.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastries are golden brown and flaky.
- Allow the breakfast pies to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.

Cooking Tips:
- Preparing Ingredients: Make sure to finely chop the onion and slice the mushrooms evenly. This ensures that they cook uniformly and blend well with the other ingredients.
- Pre-Cooking: Cook the bacon strips until they are crispy. This will add a wonderful flavor and texture to your breakfast pies.
- Puff Pastry Handling: Keep your puff pastry cold until you are ready to use it. This will help it puff up nicely and create a flaky texture.
- Egg Wash: Brush the top of the pies with a beaten egg for a beautiful golden-brown finish.
- Flavor Enhancement: Feel free to add your favorite herbs or spices to the mixture for extra flavor. Thyme works well, but rosemary or parsley could be great alternatives.
