Let’s Make it Together
Prepare Your Space: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This ensures even cooking and easy cleanup afterward.
Crisp That Bacon: Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 8-10 minutes. Drain on paper towels to absorb excess grease while keeping that delightful crunch.
Scramble Those Eggs: In a bowl, whisk together eggs, salt, and pepper until fully blended. Pour into the same skillet over medium heat, stirring gently until they’re soft but set.
Add Cheese and Combine: Once your eggs are almost cooked through, stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until melted and creamy. Mix in crumbled bacon for that irresistible flavor combination.
Assemble the Pockets: Roll out puff pastry sheets on a floured surface and cut into squares. Place spoonfuls of your egg-bacon mixture in the center of each square before folding over to seal tightly.
Bake Until Golden Brown: Arrange the filled pockets on your prepared baking sheet and brush with egg wash if desired. Bake for 15-20 minutes until puffed up and golden brown; enjoy watching them transform into flaky perfection.
These Breakfast Pockets Bacon & Egg will not only satisfy your hunger but also bring joy to your mornings. Each bite is filled with cheesy goodness nestled within crisp pastry—perfectly indulging those breakfast cravings while adding some fun flair to your routine.
