Directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F
In a sauté pan, cook onions over medium heat until translucent, add garlic, salt, pepper and black eyed peas. Heat peas completely through.
Add diced tomatoes, reduce heat to a simmer and add heavy cream and lemon pepper.
Let mixture simmer for about 5 minutes or until slightly thickened. Add parmesan cheese and spinach.
Remove from heat and cool mixture to room temperature.
Cut desired hand pie shapes out of both sheets of puff pastry, whether it be circles, using a biscuit cutter or using a knife to cute squares.
Fill circles/squares with a heaping tablespoon of filling and dip your finger in egg wash to run along the edges of the dough.
Cover open faced dough, with another piece of dough and completely seal the edges with a fork.
When all pies, are made, brush them with egg wash and refrigerate for 10 minutes before baking to chill dough.
Make slits in dough as desired, as long as its after the egg wash is applied to be sure not to seal them.
Bake pies for about 20 mins or until golden brown in color. Enjoy!
