Ingredients
Scale
Dough
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 large egg
Filling
- 1 cup cooked breakfast sausage, crumbled (or bacon, ham, or veggies)
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your favorite)
- 1/2 cup scrambled eggs (about 2 large eggs)
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard (optional)
Finishing
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Instructions
- Make the Dough: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, sugar, and baking powder. Cut in the cold, cubed butter using a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk and 1 egg, then pour the mixture into the flour mixture. Stir until a soft dough forms.
- Roll and Cut: Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead it gently. Roll the dough out to about 1/4-inch thickness, then cut it into 6-8 equal rectangles.
- Prepare Filling: In a bowl, mix together the cooked sausage, scrambled eggs, shredded cheese, and Dijon mustard (if using).
- Fill and Seal: Spoon the filling onto one half of each dough rectangle, leaving a small border. Fold the dough over the filling and press the edges with a fork to seal.
- Add Egg Wash: Place the Homemade Breakfast Hot Pockets on a parchment-lined baking sheet and brush the tops with the beaten egg.
- Bake: Preheat your oven to 375°F. Bake the hot pockets for 20-25 minutes, or until they’re golden brown and cooked through.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the Homemade Breakfast Hot Pockets to cool slightly before serving. These portable pastries are perfect for on-the-go breakfasts or can be frozen for a quick and easy meal later on.
Notes
- You can substitute the breakfast sausage with bacon, ham, or sautéed vegetables for a different flavor profile.
- If you prefer a spicier filling, add chopped jalapeños or a pinch of cayenne pepper.
- Make sure the butter is cold for flaky dough texture.
- These hot pockets can be frozen before baking; just increase baking time slightly when cooking from frozen.
- Brush with egg wash carefully to get a shiny, golden crust.
