Let’s Make it Together
Preheat your oven: Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). This ensures those breakfast pockets bake up golden and flaky.
Prepare the bacon: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Let it cool slightly before chopping it into small pieces.
Whisk your eggs: In a bowl, crack open those fresh eggs and whisk them until frothy. Season with salt and pepper for that flavor lift.
Cook the eggs: Pour the whisked eggs into your skillet (with some bacon grease left behind). Cook until just set but still soft—about 3-4 minutes should do it.
Assemble the pockets: Roll out puff pastry sheets on a floured surface. Cut squares big enough to hold your filling comfortably. Spoon in some cooked eggs, chopped bacon, and cheese.
Seal them up: Fold each pastry square over diagonally to form triangles. Use a fork to crimp edges tightly so no delicious filling escapes during baking.
Bake away: Place your assembled pockets on a lined baking sheet. Brush tops with an egg wash (that’s just beaten egg) to give them a lovely sheen while baking.
Enjoy! Bake for about 15-20 minutes until they turn golden brown and flaky. Let them cool slightly before diving in—they will be hot!
These Breakfast Pockets Bacon & Egg are not only delicious but also create cherished memories around the breakfast table!
