Ingredients Needed
- Bacon: Classic for breakfast, bacon adds savory and smoky flavor.
- Breakfast Sausage: I prefer Jimmy Dean, but use your favorite.
- Eggs: Adding scrambled eggs to your hot pockets makes them even more filling.
- Milk: Whole or 2% is fine.
- Shredded Cheese Use whatever you prefer.
- Puff Pastry: This pre-made dough is easy to work with and results in a buttery and flaky hot pocket crust.
- American Cheese: I recommend getting good cheese from the deli for the best flavor.
How to Make Breakfast Hot Pockets
- Step 1: Cook the breakfast sausage in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once browned, transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain.
- Step 2: In the same skillet, cook the bacon. Remove from heat and drain once crispy.
- Step 3: Combine eggs and milk in a medium bowl. Set aside a few tablespoons in a small bowl.
- Step 4: Remove any excess grease from the skillet and lower heat to medium-low. Melt butter and scramble eggs, then season with salt and pepper to taste. Once cooked, turn off the heat and fold in cheese.
- Step 5: Mix in cooked sausage and bacon to the egg mixture.
- Step 6: Place puff pastry on a cutting board and separate into 6 even pieces.
- Step 7: Place a piece of American cheese on the bottom half of each square.
- Step 8: Follow up with a scoop of the egg and sausage mixture.
- Step 9: Slice another sheet of puff pastry into 6 and place on top.
- Step 10: Use a fork to crimp the edges of the puff pastry, making sure to fully seal them.
- Step 11: Brush the top of each hot pocket with egg wash.
- Step 12: Use a small knife to create slices in the top of the hot pockets. Bake at 400 degrees F for 18 to 22 minutes, or until the pastry puffs up and takes on a golden brown color.
Recipe Tips
- If you can’t find puff pastry, crescent roll dough is a good option.
- Customize these hot pockets to your liking. Use all bacon or all sausage, or use a different meat like ham.
- If you have leftovers, store them in the fridge in an airtight container for 3 to 4 days.
- Reheat hot pockets in the oven or in an air fryer at 350 degrees. I don’t recommend heating them up in the microwave, as this can make the crust soggy or soft.
