Ingredients

Scale

Dough

  • Pizza dough or ready-made dough (enough for 12×10 inch rectangle)

Egg Mixture

  • 4 large eggs
  • Pinch of salt
  • Pinch of pepper

Fillings

  • 4 cooked bacon strips or 4 cooked breakfast sausages, chopped into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
  • 1/2 cup sautéed vegetables (bell peppers, spinach, mushrooms, or your choice)

Additional

  • 1 beaten egg (for egg wash)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Filling: Whisk together the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper until well combined. Cook your choice of bacon or sausage until fully cooked and chop into bite-sized pieces. Sauté any vegetables you want to include until tender and flavorful. Combine all fillings with the cheese in a bowl.
  2. Roll Out the Dough: Roll out your pizza or pastry dough on a clean, floured surface into a rectangle roughly 12 x 10 inches. Cut into even squares or rectangles about 4 x 5 inches each, depending on your preferred hot pocket size.
  3. Fill the Dough Pockets: Place a spoonful of the egg and filling mixture in the center of each dough piece, leaving enough space around the edges for sealing. Be generous but don’t overfill to prevent leaking during baking.
  4. Seal and Crimp: Fold the dough over the filling to create a pocket, then press the edges together firmly. Use a fork to crimp the edges, ensuring a good seal to keep the filling inside while baking.
  5. Bake Until Golden: Transfer the pockets to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush tops lightly with beaten egg for a shiny golden crust. Bake in a preheated 375°F (190°C) oven for 15-20 minutes or until crust is golden brown and cooked through.

Notes

  • Don’t overfill the pockets to avoid bursting while baking.
  • Use an egg wash on the tops for a golden crust.
  • Pre-cook all fillings to avoid soggy dough.
  • Allow pockets to cool slightly before eating to prevent burns.
  • Customize with spices like smoked paprika, Italian seasoning, or fresh herbs.
