Ingredients
Dough Ingredients
- 8 oz mozzarella cheese (shredded or cubed)
- 2 oz cream cheese
- 2/3 cup almond flour
- 1/3 cup coconut flour
- 1 egg
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp salt
Filling Ingredients
- 2 eggs (scrambled)
- 4 oz Canadian bacon (or other cooked breakfast meat)
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or other cheese of your choice)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the breakfast pockets.
- Melt Cheeses: Place the mozzarella and cream cheese in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 1 minute, stir, then microwave for an additional 30 seconds. Stir well and microwave for another 30 seconds, until the cheese resembles a smooth, fondue-like consistency.
- Make Dough: Combine the melted cheese with almond flour, coconut flour, egg, baking powder, and salt into a food processor. Pulse until a uniform dough forms. If mixing by hand, thoroughly knead the ingredients until well combined.
- Shape Dough Circles: Divide the dough into 8 equal portions. Wet your hands and press each portion into a 6-inch circle on parchment paper placed on a baking sheet.
- Add Filling: Evenly distribute the scrambled eggs, Canadian bacon, and shredded cheddar cheese over each dough circle.
- Seal Pockets: Fold in the edges of each dough circle over the filling and crimp to seal tightly. Place each pocket seam-side down on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Bake: Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the pockets are golden brown on top and cooked through.
Notes
- Wetting your hands makes it easier to shape and seal the dough without sticking.
- Feel free to substitute Canadian bacon with any other cooked breakfast meat like sausage or bacon.
- These pockets can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven or microwave.
- Use full-fat cheeses to maintain keto compliance and rich flavor.
