Bacon, Egg and Cheese Breakfast Pockets
Scrambled eggs, salty bacon and melty cheese come together in a light and flaky crescent roll pocket to make these delicious bacon, egg, and cheese breakfast pockets. This is such an easy and filling breakfast that you can take on-the-go, and it hardly takes a few minutes of prep time to put it together.
Best of all, just like my puff pasty strawberry strudels, these can be made ahead of time, and are freezer-friendly too!
For me, a good breakfast means something that's filling, delicious and easy to make, and that's why I almost always like to experiment with breakfast recipes that either take just a teeny bit of kitchen time (like my skillet Parmesan potatoes), or can be batch-made to last for days.
I recently made a delightful no bread sausage and egg casserole which turned out SO good, and that kind of inspired me to try another breakfast recipe.

Why You'll Love these Bacon, Egg and Cheese Breakfast Pockets
- The recipe needs no fancy ingredients. Just a couple of cans of crescent roll dough and some pantry staples.
- It's perfect to enjoy on the go and even prep ahead of time.
- It tastes (and looks) fantastic- much like my coffee cake with streusel crumb topping, and is perfect to serve when you're hosting a brunch.
Recipe Ingredients
- Eggs + bacon: For the filling. You'll need to cook bacon until it is crispy, and chop it up roughly.
- Crescent rolls: For the pockets. You can make your own dough for the pockets too, but I love the convenience of crescent roll dough. In fact, I used it for my skillet caramel apple pull apart bread recipe.
- Cheese: I used shredded cheddar jack cheese. You can use almost any other cheese too.
- Butter: To cook the eggs and to brush the tops of the breakfast pockets.
- Seasonings: Just some regular salt and pepper.
Recipe Variations, Additions, and Substitutions
- Bacon swap: Swap the classic bacon in the recipe for turkey or chicken bacon. I used chicken bacon for my chicken bacon ranch pasta recipe and it turned out fantastic.
- Cheese swap: For a nice stretchy pull, use a bit of mozzarella cheese for the filling too.
How to Make Bacon, Egg and Cheese Breakfast Pockets
- In a bowl, whisk the eggs and seasonings with a splash of milk.
- Scramble the eggs until you have perfectly fluffy and soft scrambled eggs.
- Unroll the crescent roll dough to form the 4 rectangles. Pinch down the center to keep them sealed.
- Pile some of the scrambled eggs, chopped bacon and cheese onto one half of the rectangles.
- Fold the other half over the top and press down the edges to seal.
- Pop them in a preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown in color.
Recipe Tips & Tricks
- Add a splash of milk into the eggs while whisking this. This makes the scrambled eggs nice and fluffy.
- Allow the bacon, egg and cheese breakfast pockets to rest for a few minutes before serving.
- Experiment with different fillings for the breakfast pockets. Ham, sausage (like the turkey sausage that I used for my one pot sausage casserole), green peppers, chopped spinach and onions are all fantastic additions that you can use.
- For some extra yumminess and a bit of texture, you can sprinkle some sesame seeds or everything bagel seasoning over the pockets before you bake them.
Serving Ideas & Suggestions
Enjoy these bacon, egg and cheese breakfast pockets on their own or with a cup of coffee. If you're hosting, you may want to pair them with other breakfast foods like hot chocolate peppermint pancakes or some almond butter banana chocolate chip muffins.
