Ingredients
-
1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
-
4 large eggs
-
4 slices turkey bacon
-
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
-
Salt and pepper, to taste
-
1 tablespoon milk (for egg wash)
Instructions
-
Prepare the Oven and Baking Sheet:
-
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
-
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
-
Cook the Turkey Bacon:
-
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the turkey bacon until it’s crispy.
-
Once done, place the bacon on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.
-
-
Scramble the Eggs:
-
In a bowl, beat 3 of the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper.
-
In the same skillet used for the bacon, pour in the beaten eggs.
-
Cook over medium heat, stirring gently, until the eggs are just set but still slightly soft.
-
Remove from heat and let them cool slightly.
-
-
Prepare the Puff Pastry:
-
Unroll the thawed puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface.
-
Cut the sheet into 4 equal squares.
-
-
Assemble the Pockets:
-
On each puff pastry square, place a spoonful of scrambled eggs in the center.
-
Add a slice of cooked turkey bacon on top of the eggs.
-
Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the bacon.
-
Fold the corners of the puff pastry over the filling, sealing the edges to form a pocket.
-
Place the assembled pockets onto the prepared baking sheet.
-
-
Apply Egg Wash:
-
In a small bowl, beat the remaining egg with 1 tablespoon of milk.
-
Brush this egg wash over the tops of the pastry pockets to give them a golden finish when baked.
-
-
Bake:
-
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven.
-
Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
-
-
Serve:
-
Remove from the oven and let the pockets cool for a few minutes.
-
Serve warm, perhaps with a side of fresh fruit or a light salad.
