Total Time 30 minutes
Servings: 4 servings

Ingredients
  

  • For the dough: 2 cups shredded low-moisture mozzarella
  • 2 oz cream cheese, cubed
  • 1 1/2 cups fine almond flour
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • For the filling: 4 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon butter or avocado oil
  • 1/2 cup cooked bacon or breakfast sausage, chopped
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar or pepper jack
  • 1/4 cup diced bell pepper (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped green onion (optional)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • To finish: 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
  • Everything bagel seasoning or sesame seeds (optional)

Method
 

  1. Prep your oven and tools: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Have a rolling pin and another sheet of parchment ready.
  2. Make the filling first: Whisk the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper. Heat a skillet with butter over medium. Scramble the eggs softly until just set. Remove from heat; they’ll finish cooking in the oven.
  3. Add mix-ins: Stir in cooked bacon or sausage, shredded cheese, bell pepper, and green onion. Taste and adjust seasoning. Set aside to cool slightly.
  4. Melt the cheeses for the dough: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine mozzarella and cream cheese. Microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring between each, until smooth and melted. Alternatively, melt gently in a nonstick saucepan over low heat.
  5. Mix the dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk almond flour, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt.
  6. Bring the dough together: Add the dry mix and 1 egg to the melted cheese. Use a sturdy spatula or your hands to knead until a cohesive dough forms. If sticky, let it rest 2 minutes; it firms as it cools.
  7. Divide and roll: Split the dough into 4 equal portions. Place one portion between two sheets of parchment and roll into a rectangle about 5x7 inches. Repeat with the others.
  8. Fill the pockets: Spoon a quarter of the egg mixture onto one half of each rectangle, leaving a border. Fold the other half over, press the edges, and crimp with a fork to seal.
  9. Egg wash and toppings: Transfer pockets to the baking sheet. Brush with beaten egg. Sprinkle with everything seasoning or sesame seeds if using.
  10. Bake: Bake for 15–18 minutes until golden brown and set. The tops should be glossy and lightly browned.
  11. Cool briefly: Let the pockets rest for 5–10 minutes. This helps the cheese set and keeps the fillings from spilling.
  12. Serve: Enjoy warm as-is or with a side of avocado slices or a small arugula salad.
