Chipotle Breakfast Pockets
These are reminiscent of those frozen breakfast pockets that I used to have as a kid, except WAY better. The easy all-butter pie dough is flakey and buttery, and is the perfect vessel for fluffy scrambled eggs, bacon, green onion, cheese and a spicy chipotle sauce. These are perfect to keep in your freezer, so you can easily toss them in the oven when family is over, then everyone gets a gourmet breakfast!
Yield: 6 pockets

Instructions
For the dough:
- Mix together flour and salt in a large bowl. Add in the cold grated butter and using a pastry cutter or your hands, work the butter into the dough until fully combined with small pieces of butter throughout.
- Stir in the ice water until it becomes a rough dough. Add the dough to a work surface and bring together until there are no crumbs leftover. Cut into two equal pieces and form into semi-flat squares. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to assemble.
For the eggs:
- Heat a large pan on medium heat. Crack all the eggs into a bowl, add salt, milk, garlic powder and whisk to combine.
- When the pan is preheated, add the butter. When the butter is fully melted, add the eggs and continually mix until 80% cooked, where they're still a little soft but you can scoop them. Remove from heat and set aside.
For the bacon:
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and add strips of bacon leaving a little space in between each piece.
- Add to the oven and turn the oven to 400 F. As the oven heats up, it'll render the fat. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until bacon is crispy. Dab the grease with paper towels and chop finely once cooled.
To assemble:
- Preheat oven to 400 F.
- Using flour when needed, roll out both doughs until thin, and try to keep a rectangular shape, with one dough slightly larger than the other.
- Using the slightly smaller dough, ensure there's a thin layer of flour underneath the dough. Add a thin layer of chipotle sauce, in 6 spots where you want to build your pockets. Leave space in between.
- Add a small sprinkle of cheese, a scoop of eggs, sprinkle of chopped bacon, green onions, and one more sprinkle of cheese on each spot.
- Using egg wash, brush the spaces in between the pockets, as well as the outside frame.
- Using the larger sheet of dough, lightly place it on top, and using your hands press on the gaps to close it up.
- Using a pizza cutter or knife, cut into 6 pockets and using a fork, close up the seams.
- Transfer the pockets to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Slice two slits on the top of each pocket. Egg wash once more and sprinkle with everything-bagel seasoning.
- Bake for 25 minutes or until golden brown and flakey. Serve warm with ketchup!
- For freezing methods! From raw: If you freeze the pockets raw (brushed with egg wash) Bake at 375 for 35 minutes. If you're freezing already cooked pockets, to reheat, bake at 350 F or 20 minutes or until center is warmed through!
