Best 5 Ham And Cheese Hot Pocket Recipes

HOMEMADE HAM & CHEESE POCKETS

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl or the bowl of your stand mixer fitted with a hook attachment, combine the yeast and warm water. Stir it around and let sit for 5 minutes until the mixture is foamy. If the yeast doesn't dissolve or foam, your yeast is dead. Start again with active yeast. Add flour, sugar, olive oil, and salt. Mix by hand or with the dough hook on low speed for 1 minute. Once all of the ingredients are mixed, slowly knead for 7 minutes by hand or with your dough hook on low-medium speed. If your dough is too wet, add up to 1/4 cup more flour. After kneading, your dough should be smooth and elastic. Poke it with your finger - if it slowly bounces back, your dough is ready to rise. If not, keep kneading.
• Shape the dough into a ball and place in a large mixing bowl that has been greased lightly with olive oil. Turn it over to coat all sides. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and allow to rise in a warm environment (about 75°F or 80°F/24°C or 27°C)* for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
• Preheat oven to 400°F (204°C). Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
• Once risen, punch the dough down to release the air. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Using a sharp knife, slice dough in half. Then slice each half into quarters. You'll have 8 pieces of dough, as shown in the photo above. Flatten each piece with your fingers or use a rolling pin. You want each piece of flattened dough to be about 6 inches long and 4 inches wide. They don't have to be perfect rectangles, as you can see in my photos! Transfer flattened dough to the baking sheets. Place the cheese (I fold the slice in half) and ham (2 slices for each) on top of the dough on one side, then fold the other side over top. Pinch the edges to seal as best you can. Use a fork to crimp the edges. Brush the tops and sides of each pocket with egg wash, then slice 2-3 slits in the tops for air vents (use a super sharp knife to do that).
• Bake the pockets for 20-25 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown. Make sure to rotate the baking sheet once or twice during bake time. Remove pockets from the oven and allow to cool on the pan until ready to handle and serve.

HAM AND CHEESE POCKETS

Steps:

• Let dough rise according to package directions. Punch down; divide into 10 pieces. On a lightly floured surface, roll each piece into a 5-in. circle., Preheat oven to 375°. Place 1 circle on a greased baking sheet; top with about 1/4 cup ham and 2 tablespoons cheese to within 1/2 in. of edge. Press filling to flatten. Combine egg yolk and water; brush edges of dough. Fold dough over filling and pinch edges to seal. Repeat with remaining dough and filling. Brush tops with remaining egg yolk mixture., Bake until golden brown, 15-20 minutes. Serve warm or cold.

HAM AND CHEESE HOT POCKETS

Steps:

• Prepare pizza dough. Use a turnover maker or just roll out the dough into squares, fill each with a little ham and cheese and another desired vegetable, don't overfill, as they will leak!
• Seal edges with water, bake at 350°F for about 20 minutes on a greased baking sheet (those air bake ones are great for this!).
• Eat, or freeze, then nuke 'em for convenience! Look in the freezer section of the grocery store for more hot pockets to clone at home!

HAM & EGG POCKETS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°. In a small bowl, combine egg and milk. In a small skillet heat butter until hot. Add egg mixture; cook and stir over medium heat until egg is completely set. Remove from the heat. Fold in ham and cheese., On a greased baking sheet, separate crescent dough into 2 rectangles. Seal perforations; spoon half the filling down the center of each rectangle. Fold in ends and sides; pinch to seal. Bake until golden brown, 10-14 minutes.

AIR FRYER 2-INGREDIENT DOUGH HAM AND CHEESE HOT POCKETS

Steps:

• Combine flour and Greek yogurt in a large bowl. Dough will be crumble. Transfer to a lightly floured work surface and mix until it forms a ball. Knead until smooth, adding more flour as necessary to keep dough from sticking, about 3 minutes.
• Divide dough into 4 equal pieces, and roll out each piece into a 4x7-inch rectangle about 4 1/8-inch thick.
• Spread dough pieces with Dijon mustard and evenly top with Swiss cheese followed by ham slices, folded to fit. Pull up the long sides of the dough until they meet, and then pinch and seal. Tuck the ends under on the bottom, pinching and closing up dough pockets. Whisk together egg and water in a small bowl and brush egg wash onto the dough pockets.
• Preheat the air fryer to 360 degrees F (180 degrees C) for 3 minutes. Lightly coat the air basket with cooking spray or line with a parchment liner.
• Place dough pockets in the basket seam side down, being sure they're not touching.
• Cook until golden brown, 9 to 10 minutes. You may have to work in batches depending on the size and brand of your air fryer. Transfer hot pockets to a wire rack, cool for 3 to 5 minutes, and serve hot.
