Ingredients
- 1 can crescent roll dough (or pizza dough, puff pastry, or biscuit dough)
6 large eggs, whisked with a splash of milk
1/4 cup milk or cream
1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or blend)
1 cup cooked breakfast meat (bacon, sausage, or ham)
1/2 cup sautéed veggies (bell peppers, onions, spinach – optional)
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 tbsp butter (melted) or cooking spray for brushing
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cook your breakfast meat (sausage, bacon, or ham). Set aside.
Whisk eggs with milk or cream, season with salt and pepper, then scramble gently until just set. Remove from heat.
If using veggies, sauté lightly until softened.
Roll out crescent roll dough into rectangles, pressing seams together to seal.
Add scrambled eggs, meat, veggies, and cheese to one half of each rectangle.
Fold dough over to form a pocket. Seal edges tightly with a fork.
Place on baking sheet, brush with melted butter, and (optional) sprinkle with cheese or herbs.
Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed.
Cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm or freeze for later.
Notes
Don’t overfill your pockets, or the filling may leak.
For extra crispiness, reheat in the oven instead of the microwave.
Freeze individually before storing in a bag for grab-and-go mornings.
