Notes
Pro Tips: For an extra crispy crust, brush the tops with a beaten egg before baking. Ensure the filling is not too wet to prevent sogginess. Use a pizza stone for an even bake and extra crunch. Let the pockets cool for a few minutes before serving to allow the cheese to set slightly.
Ingredient Substitutions: You can replace cheddar with mozzarella for a milder flavor. Add cooked chicken for additional protein.
How to Serve: Serve with marinara sauce or creamy ranch dip for added flavor.
Storage & Freshness: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven to maintain crispiness.
Make-Ahead Tips: Prepare dough and filling a day in advance and store separately in the fridge. Assemble and bake when ready to serve.
