Bacon Egg Pockets (Printable Version)

Crispy pastry stuffed with bacon, eggs, and cheese—great for quick mornings.

# Ingredients:

→ Puff Pastry

01 - 1 box of puff pastry (two sheets), defrosted

→ Filling

02 - 8 crispy bacon strips, chopped
03 - ½ cup shredded mozzarella or your favorite cheese
04 - 4 eggs, whisked

→ Egg Wash

05 - 1 beaten egg

→ Optional Garnish

06 - Sesame seeds (white or black)
07 - Everything seasoning mix
08 - Regular sesame seeds

# Steps:

01 - Let puff pastry sit at room temperature for 5 to 10 minutes to soften enough for easy handling.
02 - Fry, bake, or air fry the bacon to your preferred crispiness. Chop it into small chunks. Scramble the whisked eggs on low heat till just set.
03 - Spread the pastry sheet and slice into 9 equal rectangle pieces. Set aside 9 pieces for the top layer and 9 for the bottom.
04 - On each bottom pastry rectangle, layer scrambled eggs, crispy bacon bits, and shredded cheese in separate steps. Cover with a top rectangle, pressing the edges together, then use a fork to crimp and seal.
05 - Make a small knife cut in the top center of each pocket so it vents steam. Brush the surface with the beaten egg for a glossy finish.
06 - Sprinkle toppings like sesame seeds or bagel seasoning over each pocket if you'd like extra flavor.
07 - Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and preheat the oven to 350°F. Bake pockets for 20-25 minutes until they're puffed and golden.
08 - Spray or lightly coat the air fryer rack or basket with oil. Cook the pockets at 350°F for around 10 to 15 minutes till golden brown.
09 - Enjoy your warm pockets straight up or with a dip on the side.
