High Protein Breakfast Hot Pockets 🍳🥓

👩‍🍳 How to Make It

  1. Make the dough or use a protein wrap: If using homemade dough (Greek yogurt + flour mix), roll it out to about ¼ inch thickness.
  2. Add your filling: Scramble egg whites and cook turkey bacon. Layer them with cheese inside the dough. Add optional veggies if using.
  3. Seal & shape: Fold the dough over and pinch the edges to seal. Flatten slightly.
  4. Cook it:
    • Pan method: Heat a nonstick pan over medium heat with a little spray oil. Cook each side for 3–4 minutes until golden brown.
    • Air fryer method: Air fry at 180°C (350°F) for 8–10 minutes until golden and puffed.
  5. Garnish: Sprinkle with herbs or extra seasoning. Serve hot with ketchup, salsa, or Greek yogurt dip.
