I noticed the other day that McDonald’s have Ham and Cheese Pockets as part of their breakfast menu! I haven’t tried them, and doubt I ever will, but these look just like the McDonald’s one – with the added bonus of egg. 🙂 Extra tastiness, and keeps you full for longer! Doesn’t the inside look fabulous?? And I love the crispy edges!
HOW TO MAKE HAM, EGG CHEESE POCKETS
This is how to assemble it. Firstly pile on some ham, then create a “well” using shredded cheese and crack in an egg. Then simply fold in the sides and wrap into a parcel, and wrap in foil to hold it all together. Then bake until the egg is cooked to your taste – it’s easy to tell, just poke to surface and you’ll be able to feel how firm the egg is.
I realise the name is a bit clunky. And if there is anyone reading this who is more of a wordsmith than me, I’d dearly love suggestions for a better name. It sounds almost childish, doesn’t it? And yet somehow, very me. 🙂 (Both the ridiculous sounding name and the recipe itself!).
VERSATILE RECIPE
I kept these breakfast pockets very simple, made with just ham, egg and cheese. But think of the possibilities! Add some greens, olives, sun dried tomatoes. Switch out the ham with salami or other cured meat. Cook some bacon. Just use this recipe as the base for your own creations!
These Ham, Egg and Cheese breakfast pockets are my 2nd No Washing Up invention. The first was this No Washing Up Ham Egg and Cheese Bread Bowls (SO GOOD!) which I am still very fond it. Those are made with bread rolls, these are made with tortilla wraps or any kind of flatbread that is thin and pliable enough to fold into pockets. I know the concept for this recipe is very simple but if you’d like a visual for how I wrap these, I’ve made a quick little video which is below the recipe. Enjoy! – Nagi xx

And more things stuffed between crispy flatbreads!
Things stuffed inside crispy flatbreads are always a good thing! I’ve done a few over the years:
Gozleme – Crispy Turkish olive oil flatbreads stuffed with spinach and feta Quesadillas – and try these Avocado Bacon Egg Breakfast Quesadillas! And handy Oven Baked Chicken Quesadillas! Aloo Paratha And though not stuffed, this ever popular Easy Soft Flatbreads has to make the list (use as naan for curries, Greek Gyros, Doner Kebab, Chicken Shawarma – the options are extensive!)
