Puff Pastry Sheets: Use store-bought for convenience; they create a flaky, buttery crust without all the fuss.
-
Bacon: Opt for thick-cut bacon for extra crunch and flavor; it crisps up beautifully during baking.
-
Eggs: Fresh eggs are essential; whisk them well to incorporate air for fluffiness.
-
Cheddar Cheese: Shredded sharp cheddar adds richness and melty goodness to each pocket.

Let’s Make it Together
Prepare Your Ingredients: Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). Gather all your ingredients on the counter for easy access while cooking.
Crisp the Bacon: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Keep an eye on it—you want it crispy but not burnt! Transfer to paper towels and let it drain.
Whisk the Eggs: In a bowl, crack open the eggs and whisk until well combined. Season with salt and pepper; this is where the magic happens!
Combine Filling Ingredients: Chop the crispy bacon into small pieces and mix it with the whisked eggs, shredded cheese, and chopped green onions in one bowl. This filling will make your taste buds dance!
Assemble Your Breakfast Pockets: Roll out the puff pastry sheets on a floured surface. Cut into squares or rectangles—aim for about 4 inches each side. Spoon a generous amount of filling onto one half of each pastry square.
Bake Until Golden Brown: Fold over the pastry squares and seal the edges by pressing with a fork. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and puffed up beautifully.
Enjoy these delightful breakfast pockets fresh from the oven! The combination of textures—from flaky pastry to creamy cheesy filling—will leave you smiling all morning long!
