Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 8 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup milk
  • 2 containers of refrigerated crescent roll dough
  • 2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese
  • 12 strips bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • Salt and Pepper to taste

Equipment

  • mixing bowl
  • whisk
  • large skillet
  • spatula
  • baking sheet
  • parchment paper
  • fork

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. Melt a little butter or oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Pour in the egg mixture and cook, stirring gently, until they're just set but still look a little moist. Remove from the heat.
  3. Unroll the crescent roll dough, separate the triangles, and then press two triangles together to form a rectangle, pinching the diagonal seam to seal it. You should have eight rectangles.
  4. Spoon a portion of the scrambled eggs onto one half of each rectangle. Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded cheese and chopped bacon over the eggs.
  5. Fold the empty half of the dough over the filling. Press the edges together firmly to create a seal. You can use a fork to crimp the edges.
  6. Place the breakfast pockets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 20 to 25 minutes.
  7. About halfway through baking (10-12 minutes), brush the tops of the pockets with melted butter and return them to the oven to finish baking until golden brown.
  8. Let the breakfast pockets rest on the baking sheet for about five minutes before serving to allow the filling to set.

Notes

To prevent filling from leaking, do not overstuff the pockets and ensure a very secure seal by pinching and crimping the edges with a fork. Cook eggs over medium-low heat and remove them while they are still slightly moist to prevent them from drying out in the oven. For substitutions, you can use sausage or ham instead of bacon, or sautéed vegetables for a vegetarian option. Other cheeses like Monterey Jack or pepper jack also work well. These can be made ahead; store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months. Reheat in the oven or air fryer for best results.
