Ingredients
Ingredients
- 500 g Ground beef or plant-based substitute
- 200 g Melting cheese
- 1 Egg (for wash)
- 1 pack Store-bought dough or refrigerated crescent-roll dough
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Pepper
- optional Toppings (lettuce, tomato, pickles, onion)
- optional Sauces (ketchup, mustard)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 190°C (375°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cook the ground beef or substitute until browned, seasoning with salt and pepper. Let cool slightly.
- Roll out the dough and cut into rounds or rectangles. Place a portion of filling in the center and bring the edges together to seal.
- Crimp the edges firmly, brush with egg wash, and place on the baking sheet.
- Bake for about 15–20 minutes, until golden and cheese is melted, checking with a meat thermometer to ensure filling reaches at least 71°C (160°F).
- Let the pockets rest for a few minutes before serving. Add any fresh toppings and sauces as desired.
Notes
Tip: Avoid overfilling the pockets to ensure they seal properly and bake evenly.
