Ingredients

Scale

Egg Filling

16 large eggs
2/3 cup milk (whole, 2%, or dairy-free alternatives)
Salt and black pepper, to taste

Other Filling

24 strips bacon, cooked and chopped (or turkey/vegetarian bacon)
4 cups shredded cheddar cheese (or mix with Monterey Jack, Gruyère, or pepper jack)

Dough

4 (8-ounce) cans crescent roll dough
4 tbsp butter, melted, for brushing

Optional Garnishes & Boosts

Hot sauce, smoked paprika, chives, green onions

Instructions

1. Preheat & Prep

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.

2. Scramble the Eggs

Whisk eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until frothy.
Cook in a non-stick skillet over medium heat, gently stirring until just set. Remove from heat slightly early; they’ll finish cooking in the oven. Let cool slightly.

3. Prepare the Dough

Unroll crescent dough. Combine two triangles to form a rectangle, pinching the seams to seal. Chill if dough gets too warm.

4. Assemble the Pockets

Spoon scrambled eggs into the center of each rectangle.
Top with chopped bacon and shredded cheese. Leave a ½-inch border.
Fold the dough over to form a half-moon shape.
Crimp edges with a fork to seal.

5. Brush & Bake

Place pockets on baking sheets with space to puff. Brush with melted butter. Optional: sprinkle extra cheese or paprika.
Bake 18–20 minutes, until golden brown and puffed.

6. Serve

Let pockets rest 1–2 minutes. Sprinkle with fresh chives or green onions. Serve warm with fruit or a simple salad.

Notes

Bursting pockets: Don’t overfill; seal edges firmly. Optional egg wash on edges helps.
Watery eggs: Remove from heat while slightly undercooked. Cook veggies thoroughly to remove moisture.
Make ahead: Assemble & freeze before baking or bake, cool, and freeze. Reheat in oven, air fryer, or microwave.
Alternate doughs: Puff pastry for flakier texture; pizza dough for breadier pockets.
