Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, diced
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- 4 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup cooked bacon or sausage, crumbled
- Salt and pepper to taste
Feel free to substitute the bacon or sausage with other proteins like ham or even a meat-free option like sautéed mushrooms. These pockets are your blank canvas!
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt, and baking powder. Add the cold butter, rubbing it into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in the sour cream until the dough comes together. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for 20 minutes to chill.
- Meanwhile, whisk together the eggs and milk in a skillet over medium heat. Cook until softly scrambled, then season with salt and pepper. Set aside to cool slightly.
- Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface to about 1/4-inch thickness. Cut into 5-inch squares.
- Place a spoonful of scrambled eggs, a sprinkle of cheese, and a bit of crumbled bacon or sausage onto each square.
- Fold the dough over the filling to form a pocket, pressing the edges with a fork to seal. Brush each pocket with the beaten egg.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. Allow to cool for a few minutes before serving.
One of my personal tips is to make a double batch and freeze the extras. They’re perfect for those mornings when time is short but you still want a homemade breakfast.
