Homemade Breakfast Hot Pockets

Easy breakfast ideas are a favorite around here.

Specifically, breakfast ideas with eggs. These breakfast quesadillas, this bacon and tomato frittata, and this breakfast pizza is on repeat in my kitchen. Not only do I love eggs, but the hubster does, too.

I’m excited to showcase my latest dish, these incredibly easy and oh-so delicious breakfast pockets. With school almost back in session (in one way or another), this is the best back-to-school breakfast to keep those kiddos full and focused.

This homemade hot pocket recipe is filled with scrambled eggs, crispy bacon, and melty cheese, all wrapped up in flaky puff pastry. It’s a convenient, grab ‘n go breakfast that is perfect for just about any time. Plus, it ready in just 30 minutes!

Like most of my recipes, these bacon, egg and cheese hot pockets are so easy to make. In fact, you just need a handful of ingredients to put this together.

Homemade Breakfast Hot Pockets

Ingredients needed for Breakfast Hot Pockets:

Just a few ingredients is all it takes to make this puff pastry breakfast pocket!

  • Unsalted butter
  • Eggs
  • Milk
  • Salt & Pepper
  • Frozen puff pastry (thawed)
  • Bacon
  • Shredded cheddar cheese
  • Garlic powder for topping (if desired)

How to make Homemade Hot Pockets:

  • To start, preheat the oven and line two large baking pans with parchment paper.
  • Whisk some eggs, milk, salt and pepper and then scramble until cooked through.
  • Gently unfold both (thawed) puff pastry sheets onto a sheet of parchment paper or lightly floured surface (so sheets don’t stick). Cut each rectangle into four even squares.
  • Evenly distribute the scrambled eggs onto the bottom half of each square, followed by chopped bacon, and shredded cheese. Fold the top part over the filling and use a fork to crimp the edges shut, forming a pocket. 
  • Lightly brush each square with an egg wash (one egg and water whisked) so that they bake up golden. Sprinkle some garlic powder on top for extra flavor, if desired.
  • Bake for about 15 minutes, or until pockets are golden, and serve immediately.

How long to bake hot pockets:

You want to bake this hot pocket recipe for about 15 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy.

Can I freeze homemade hot pockets?

Simply let them cool to room temperature and then store in a freezer-safe container or ziploc bag for up to three months. When ready to eat, let thaw in the refrigerator and then reheat in the microwave.

Variations of Breakfast Pockets with Puff Pastry:

  • Switch up the meat! Swap out the bacon for ground sausage, turkey, or chicken.
  • Add some veggies! Diced bell peppers, tomatoes, mushrooms or onions would make a delicious addition.
  • Use a different cheese! Mozzarella, swiss, or even feta would make these pockets extra tasty.
  • Add some sauce to the pockets before baking or as a dipping sauce! Guacamole, salsa, sriracha or even ketchup would pair well.

Tips for making breakfast hot pockets:

  • In order to keep the thawed puff pastry from sticking, line your counter or a large baking pan with parchment paper. If you don’t have parchment paper, lightly flour surface and then place puff pastry onto it.
  • Be sure not to overfill each pocket, as you don’t want the filling to ooze out when preparing or baking.
  • For extra flavor, sprinkle the tops of each pocket with garlic powder before baking.
