Ham and Cheese Pockets
These ham and cheese pockets are SO easy to make (and delicious, too!) Grab a pan and heat to medium with a little cooking spray or olive oil. Combine eggs, milk, ham, pepper and garlic powder.
Scramble those eggs until they are done. During that time, roll out the crescent rolls and combine the two triangles together to make a large rectangle. All in all, you should have 8 rectangles.
Spoon a little of the scrambled egg and ham mixture onto each rectangle.
Top with shredded cheese, then fold the dough over sealing the edges with water. Use the edge of a fork to push down, then brush egg wash over the top of each pocket.
Bake at 375 degrees F for 15 minutes or until golden brown. That’s it! You have a wonderful way to use up an abundance of eggs along with leftover ham!
