These homemade breakfast hot pockets are golden, flaky, and packed with eggs, cheese, and sausage. A fun, filling way to start your morning—great for meal prep too!
For the Dough:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
½ cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
½ cup milk
1 large egg
For the Filling:
1 cup cooked breakfast sausage, crumbled (or bacon, ham, or sautéed veggies)
1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or preferred blend)
½ cup scrambled eggs (about 2 large eggs)
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard (optional)
For Assembly:
1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Make the Dough:
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, salt, sugar, and baking powder. Add cold, cubed butter and cut it in using a pastry cutter or fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in milk and 1 egg until just combined. Do not overmix.
Chill the Dough:
Turn dough onto a floured surface, knead gently 2–3 times, shape into a disk, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Prepare the Filling:
While the dough chills, scramble eggs and cook sausage (or veggies/bacon) in a skillet. Let cool slightly. In a bowl, mix cooked eggs, sausage, shredded cheese, and Dijon mustard (if using).
Assemble the Pockets:
Roll chilled dough to ¼-inch thickness and cut into 4×6-inch rectangles. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment. Spoon filling into the center of each rectangle. Fold dough over, seal edges, and crimp with a fork.
Bake:
Place pockets on the prepared baking sheet. Brush tops with beaten egg. Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until golden and puffed. Cool slightly before serving.
Customize with vegetarian or low-carb options.
Make-ahead friendly: Cool, wrap individually, and freeze. Reheat in the oven or toaster oven.
Avoid overfilling to keep pockets sealed and prevent leaks.
