These Homemade Breakfast Hot Pockets are a delicious and portable breakfast option featuring a flaky dough filled with savory cooked sausage, scrambled eggs, and melted cheese. Perfectly baked until golden brown, they make an ideal on-the-go meal or can be prepared in advance and frozen for quick reheating.

Ingredients

Scale

Dough

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 large egg

Filling

  • 1 cup cooked breakfast sausage, crumbled (or bacon, ham, or veggies)
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your favorite)
  • 1/2 cup scrambled eggs (about 2 large eggs)
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard (optional)

Finishing

  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Instructions

  1. Make the Dough: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, sugar, and baking powder. Cut in the cold, cubed butter using a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk and 1 egg, then pour the mixture into the flour mixture. Stir until a soft dough forms.
  2. Roll and Cut: Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead it gently. Roll the dough out to about 1/4-inch thickness, then cut it into 6-8 equal rectangles.
  3. Prepare Filling: In a bowl, mix together the cooked sausage, scrambled eggs, shredded cheese, and Dijon mustard (if using).
  4. Fill and Seal: Spoon the filling onto one half of each dough rectangle, leaving a small border. Fold the dough over the filling and press the edges with a fork to seal.
  5. Add Egg Wash: Place the Homemade Breakfast Hot Pockets on a parchment-lined baking sheet and brush the tops with the beaten egg.
  6. Bake: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the hot pockets for 20-25 minutes, or until they’re golden brown and cooked through.
  7. Cool and Serve: Allow the Homemade Breakfast Hot Pockets to cool slightly before serving. These portable pastries are perfect for on-the-go breakfasts or can be frozen for a quick and easy meal later on.

Notes

  • For a vegetarian version, substitute the sausage with sautéed vegetables like bell peppers, mushrooms, and spinach.
  • You can switch up the cheese to your favorite variety for different flavor profiles.
  • If freezing, place baked hot pockets in a single layer on a baking sheet to freeze solid before transferring to a freezer bag.
  • Reheat frozen hot pockets in a 350°F oven for 15-20 minutes until warmed through.
  • Make sure to seal the edges well to prevent filling leakage during baking.
