Ingredients

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)

Instructions

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.

Notes

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.
