Ingredients
  

For the Dough
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour All-purpose works best for a tender, easy-to-roll dough.
  • ½ teaspoon salt Enhances flavor.
  • ¼ cup butter, cold and cubed Keep it cold and cubed for flaky layers.
  • 3–4 tablespoons cold water Use just enough to hold the dough.
For the Filling
  • 4 large eggs Farm-fresh or supermarket; can use a mix of whole eggs and egg whites for lighter filling.
  • ½ cup diced ham Can substitute with cooked bacon, sausage, or vegetarian protein.
  • ½ cup shredded cheese Cheddar or your choice; options include Monterey Jack or mozzarella.
  • ¼ cup chopped bell peppers Chop fine for quicker cooking.
  • ¼ cup chopped onions Chop fine to match the cooking time with other ingredients.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a bowl, mix flour and salt. Cut in butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Stir in cold water, a tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together.
  4. Roll out the dough on a floured surface and cut into squares of 4-5 inches.
  5. In a skillet, cook eggs with ham, cheese, bell peppers, and onions until the eggs are set.
  6. Place a spoonful of the egg mixture in the center of each dough square.
  7. Fold the dough to create a pocket and seal the edges with a fork.
  8. Place the pockets on a baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden.
  9. Let cool slightly before serving.

Notes

For optimal results, don’t overfill the pockets to prevent leaks. You can freeze unbaked pockets for later use.
