Embrace the Morning with Savory Breakfast Pockets
Life can be wonderfully chaotic, and some weeks truly test your limits. This particular week, for instance, has been a whirlwind – an exhilarating kind of “hell” where my to-do list seems to stretch endlessly. Between the excitement of #BrunchWeek, which has been nothing short of epic with its culinary creations and collaborations, I’ve also been busy orchestrating a lively Cinco de Derby party at our local Moose Lodge. On top of that, as an active member of my children’s PTO, my days have been packed with preparations for next week’s highly anticipated teacher appreciation week. It’s a joyful madness, but madness nonetheless!
By midweek, my energy levels were definitely flagging. All I could think about was unwinding with a refreshing mint julep and a plate piled high with tacos. This relentless pace often makes it challenging to ensure my family starts their day with a proper, nourishing breakfast. That’s why I’m eternally grateful I had the foresight to prepare a batch of these glorious Everything Bagel Breakfast Pockets last weekend. Knowing they were ready to go in the fridge made those frantic mornings so much smoother, ensuring my kids had a hearty, homemade breakfast before heading out the door.
The Irresistible Allure of Everything Bagel Seasoning
The moment I first encountered Everything Bagel seasoning, I knew it was going to be a game-changer. I was instantly hooked! My best friend’s stepmother, a true lifesaver, managed to snag a bottle for me from Trader Joe’s, a store not conveniently located within driving distance for me. Since then, I’ve become such a devoted fan that I’ve already purchased another bottle – it’s simply that good. This versatile seasoning, a harmonious blend of sesame seeds, poppy seeds, dried garlic, dried onion, and sea salt, has an incredible way of elevating almost any dish it touches.
If you don’t happen to live near a Trader Joe’s, fret not! You can easily purchase this magical Everything Bagel seasoning online through Amazon. Its widespread popularity is a testament to its unique flavor profile, which adds a savory, crunchy, and aromatic punch that’s hard to resist. From avocado toast to roasted vegetables, and now, to these incredible breakfast pockets, it truly transforms simple ingredients into something extraordinary.
A Cheese Revelation: Cabot Everything Bagel Cheddar
One of the highlights of #BrunchWeek was the incredible selection of products provided by our sponsors. Cabot Cheese, a fantastic brand, sent me an amazing package, and nestled within it was a true revelation: their Everything Bagel Cheddar Cheese. Holy mother of all things cheesy, this stuff is beyond delicious! It combines the creamy, sharp goodness of cheddar with the unmistakable savory notes of Everything Bagel seasoning, creating a flavor explosion that is, quite simply, “bomb.com.”
The moment I tasted that cheese, I knew it had to be the star of a new recipe. It sparked the inspiration for these Everything Bagel Breakfast Pockets. I envisioned a breakfast pastry that would encapsulate everything I love about a classic everything bagel, but in a convenient, handheld form. The idea was to create something savory and deeply satisfying, moving beyond the usual sweet pastries often found at breakfast.
While my kids adore toaster pastries filled with sweet fruit and topped with icing and sprinkles, I was craving something more substantial and savory. I wanted a breakfast option that would harmoniously blend all our favorite morning flavors – eggs, sausage, and cheese – with that distinctive Everything Bagel kick. These breakfast pockets were born from that desire, offering a savory alternative that appeals to the whole family.
One of the best things about these Everything Bagel Breakfast Pockets is how incredibly quick and easy they are to prepare. They come together in under 30 minutes, making them perfect for busy weekday mornings or a relaxed weekend brunch. You can enjoy these savory pocket pastries whenever a craving strikes, and let me tell you, that will be often! Their irresistible flavor and convenient format make them an instant favorite.
The Convenience and Versatility of Puff Pastry
I simply have to give a massive shout-out to puff pastry. This humble ingredient is nothing short of incredible and is an absolute lifesaver in the kitchen, dramatically cutting down on prep time. Its flaky, buttery layers create a luxurious texture that elevates even the simplest fillings. I’ve utilized its magic before in these delicate Espresso Cream Puffs and the vibrant Blackberry Lime Buttercream Puffs, both of which turned out absolutely delicious. For these savory breakfast pockets, puff pastry provides the perfect crispy, golden shell, making them feel effortlessly gourmet.
My family absolutely devoured these Everything Bagel Breakfast Pockets. They were such a hit that my kids have already requested I try my hand at a sweet version, perhaps filled with fruit and a touch of cream cheese. I’m confident that a homemade sweet puff pastry pocket will be infinitely better than anything you can buy in a blue box at the grocery store. So, stay tuned for a sweet rendition in the future! Do you have any suggestions for fillings? I’m always open to new ideas to delight their taste buds.
Everything Bagel Breakfast Pockets are a savory morning delight, packed with all your favorite breakfast components – fluffy eggs, savory sausage, and rich cheddar cheese – all infused with the distinctive, beloved flavor of an Everything Bagel.

These delicious Everything Bagel Breakfast Pockets are filled with fluffy eggs, savory sausage, and rich Everything Bagel cheddar cheese, all baked inside flaky puff pastry. They are truly incredible and the perfect excuse to enjoy a fantastic morning meal!
Ingredients
- 1 box (17.3oz) Puff Pastry Sheets, thawed
- 16 ounces breakfast sausage
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 7 eggs, divided
- 2 tablespoons milk
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ⅛ teaspoon pepper
- 4 ounces Cabot Everything Bagel Cheddar Cheese, shredded
- ¼ cup green onions, sliced
- 2 tablespoons Everything Bagel seasoning
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or a Silpat baking mat.
- In a medium pan, brown the breakfast sausage over medium heat until fully cooked. Drain any excess fat, then remove the sausage and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb further grease.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together 6 of the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined. Reserve the remaining egg for the egg wash.
- Add 1 tablespoon of butter to the same pan you used for the sausage. Once melted, pour in the whisked egg mixture. Cook the eggs for approximately 3 minutes, stirring gently until they are still soft and slightly runny. Avoid overcooking, as they will bake further in the oven.
- Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the shredded Everything Bagel cheddar cheese until just melted and combined with the eggs.
- Gently fold in the cooked sausage and sliced green onions into the egg and cheese mixture.
- On a lightly floured surface, carefully roll out one puff pastry sheet into a 12 x 10-inch square. Using a sharp knife or pastry cutter, divide the square into 4 equal smaller squares. Repeat this process with the second puff pastry sheet.
- Spoon approximately ⅓ cup of the egg and sausage filling onto the center of each puff pastry square. Fold one corner of the puff pastry over the filling to meet the opposite corner, forming a triangle. Press the edges firmly to seal, then use a fork to crimp the edges completely, ensuring no filling leaks out during baking.
- In a small bowl, whisk the remaining egg with a tablespoon of water to create an egg wash.
- Brush the egg wash generously over the tops of each sealed breakfast pocket. This will give them a beautiful golden-brown color and help the seasoning adhere. Sprinkle liberally with Everything Bagel seasoning.
- Carefully transfer the breakfast pockets to the prepared baking sheets. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the puff pastry is puffed, golden brown, and cooked through.
**Chef’s Note: You might have about ½ cup of extra filling leftover. Don’t let it go to waste! It’s perfect for adding to an omelet, a breakfast quesadilla, or simply enjoying as a quick skillet breakfast.
