🥐 Homemade Ham & Cheese Pockets 🧀
Flaky, golden pastry filled with melty cheese and savory ham—just like your favorite store-bought version but even better!
✨ Ingredients:
•1 package refrigerated pizza dough (or crescent roll dough)
•1 cup diced ham (or sliced ham)
•1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or Swiss cheese)
•2 tbsp cream cheese (optional, for extra creaminess)
•1 egg (beaten, for egg wash)
•1 tbsp butter (melted, for brushing)
•½ tsp garlic powder (optional, for extra flavor)
✨ Instructions:
1️⃣ Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2️⃣ Roll out the dough on a floured surface and cut it into rectangles (about 4×6 inches).
3️⃣ Assemble the pockets: Spread a little cream cheese on each rectangle (if using), then add diced ham and shredded cheese in the center.
4️⃣ Fold & seal: Fold the dough over the filling, pressing the edges with a fork to seal. Brush the tops with beaten egg for a golden finish.
5️⃣ Bake for 15-18 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
6️⃣ Brush with melted butter and sprinkle with garlic powder for extra flavor. Let cool slightly and enjoy warm!
