Easy Ham, Egg & Cheese Puff Pastry Pockets

Flaky, golden puff pastry stuffed with soft scrambled eggs, diced ham, and melty cheese — these easy breakfast pastry pockets are the kind of recipe that looks bakery-fancy but comes together with basically zero stress. Perfect for a lazy weekend brunch or a make-ahead breakfast you can grab on the way out the door.

If you’ve never made hand pies before, this is the easiest version to start with — just fold, seal, and bake.

INGREDIENTS
• 6 large eggs, plus 1 for egg wash
• Splash of milk
• 8 oz (226g) ham, diced small
• 4 oz (113g) shredded cheese
• 1 (17 oz/490g) package frozen puff pastry (2 sheets), thawed
• 2 tablespoons butter • Salt & pepper

INSTRUCTIONS
1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
2. Melt butter in a large sauté pan over medium heat. Add diced ham and sauté 3-4 minutes.
3. Whisk 6 eggs with a splash of milk, salt, and pepper. Add to the pan and stir gently until softly scrambled, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
4. On a floured surface, unfold the puff pastry and cut along the fold lines to create 6 rectangles.
5. Whisk the remaining egg with a splash of water for egg wash. Brush the edges of each rectangle.
6. Add filling to one end of each rectangle, leaving a border. Top with shredded cheese.
7. Fold the pastry over the filling and seal the edges with a fork. Cut small vent holes in the tops and brush with egg wash.
8. Bake for about 20 minutes, until puffed and golden. Serve warm.

No fancy skills required — that’s the easiest part.
