A Quick Note About These Breakfast Pockets

Alternatively, you can make them with homemade biscuit dough (A Mind Full Mom) or for a more authentic Hot Pocket taste, with homemade pizza dough (Once Upon A Chef)
How to Freeze Homemade Hot Pockets
These homemade bacon egg and cheese breakfast pockerts are super simple to freeze for later.
To do so, follow the recipe exactly. Once they’re baked, allow them to cool fully on a wire cooling rack like THIS one (Amazon.)
One they’re cooled, wrap each one once with parchment paper and twice with plastic wrap. Store in a gallon sized freezer bag in the freezer until you’re ready to eat them.
How to Reheat Frozen Homemade Hot Pockets
To reheat your bacon egg and cheese breakfast pockets, simply remove from the freezer and unwrap. Microwave for 2-3 minutes or until hot.
Be mindful of your sandwich while it is in the microwave. If you overheat them, the crust can become hard.
