Ingredients

1 package 5 count biscuit dough I used Pillsbury Butter Tastin’
1 tablespoon butter
4 large eggs
¼ cup milk
4 strips bacon coarsely chopped
3 slices cheese I used American
Salt
black pepper

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375° F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. This keeps everything from sticking and makes cleanup a breeze!
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the 4 large eggs, ¼ cup milk, salt, and black pepper until everything is well combined and slightly frothy. This helps create those light, fluffy scrambled eggs your family will love.
Heat a medium skillet over medium-low heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter. Once the butter has melted and is gently bubbling, pour in your whisked egg mixture.
Stir gently and cook the eggs until they are just set and scrambled to your liking—soft and fluffy is perfect here. Keep the heat nice and low so they stay tender and don’t dry out.
Once done, remove the skillet from the heat and set it aside. Let the scrambled eggs cool for just a few minutes. This quick cooling step makes them much easier to handle when you’re filling the biscuit pockets.
Meanwhile, open the package of biscuit dough and separate the 5 biscuits. Place them on a lightly floured surface or a sheet of parchment paper.
Using a rolling pin, gently roll out each biscuit into a flat circle, about 5 to 6 inches across. You want them thin enough to fold easily but still thick enough to hold all that delicious filling. Don’t worry about making them perfectly round—rustic and homemade is what we’re going for!
Divide the scrambled eggs into 5 equal portions.
Take one flattened biscuit and place a generous portion of the scrambled eggs along one half of the circle, leaving a little border around the edge so you can seal it later.
Top the eggs with pieces of your chopped bacon—distribute it evenly so every bite has that wonderful smoky flavor.
Top the egg and bacon filling with half a slice of cheese. I like to tear or fold the ½ slice so it covers the eggs and bacon nicely. The cheese will melt beautifully as the pockets bake, holding everything together and adding that gooey, delicious touch everyone loves.
Fold the other half of the biscuit dough over the top of the egg, bacon, and cheese filling to create a half-moon shape. Gently press along the edges with your fingers to seal the seams well.
Roll up the edge of the seam tightly with your fingers, crimping it as you go. This little extra step helps seal everything in and prevents the filling from leaking out while they bake
.Next, use a sharp knife to cut 2–3 small vent holes in the top of each pocket. These vents allow steam to escape so your pockets stay crisp instead of getting soggy.
Repeat the filling, folding, sealing, and venting process with the remaining biscuits until you have a total of 5 delicious Bacon Egg Cheese Biscuit Pockets ready for the oven.
Place the stuffed breakfast pockets onto the prepared parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them a couple of inches apart so they have room to bake evenly. Carefully transfer the baking sheet to your preheated 375° F oven.
Bake the pockets in your preheated 375° F oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until they turn a beautiful golden brown. Keep an eye on them toward the end—every oven is a little different, and you want that perfect flaky, lightly toasted look.
Once they’re nicely golden, carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven. Allow the egg and bacon hot pockets to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before serving. They’ll be nice and hot inside, so this short cooling time keeps the filling from being too runny and prevents any burned tongues.
