Cuisine: American
Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 1 package refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 1 cup diced ham
- 1 cup shredded cheese
- 4 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined and slightly frothy.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and softly scramble the egg mixture, cooking until just set but still slightly moist. Remove from heat and let cool for 2-3 minutes.
- Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate into individual rectangles, pressing the perforated seams to seal completely.
- On each rectangle, place a portion of diced ham in the center, followed by scrambled eggs and a sprinkle of shredded cheese.
- Carefully fold the dough over the filling, creating a sealed pocket. Press edges with a fork to crimp and ensure complete closure.
- Transfer the breakfast pockets to the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each pocket.
- Brush the tops of the pockets with a beaten egg wash for a golden, shiny finish (optional).
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and crispy.
- Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving. The filling will be hot, so allow time to cool slightly.
Tips
- * Make sure to press the perforated seams of the crescent roll dough to seal completely, ensuring your filling stays inside. * Don't overfill your pockets - leave a little room for the filling to expand during baking. * If you want an extra-golden finish, don't skip the egg wash step - it makes all the difference! * Consider preparing the egg mixture and cooking the ham ahead of time to make assembly a breeze. * These breakfast pockets are perfect for meal prep - simply bake, cool, and refrigerate or freeze for up to 3 days.
