They say breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Why not start it with these Bacon and Egg Breakfast Pockets?! The kids love these for breakfast, especially on lazy weekend mornings!
These breakfast pockets come together quickly & are easy to assemble. Savannah loves to help put them together, so it’s a fun recipe to let the kids help with as well. We don’t usually have leftovers, but I’ve doubled the recipe a few times & frozen them before. When someone wants to eat one, I pop it into the microwave on a plate with a slightly damp paper towel on top for 1-2 minutes. So delish! Ours never last longer than a month in the freezer before eating, but I wouldn’t leave them for too terribly long in there.
