Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F and prepare a large baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.

  2. Cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until it becomes crispy. Once cooked, remove the bacon from the skillet and place it on paper towels to drain. Discard the fat from the skillet and use paper towels to wipe it clean.

  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and cream until they become frothy. Place the skillet back on the stovetop over medium heat and add butter. Once the butter becomes foamy, pour in the egg mixture. Reduce the heat to medium-low and use a spatula to stir the eggs until they are cooked to your desired consistency. Gently mix in the chives and season with salt and pepper. Remove the skillet from the heat.

  4. Divide the dough into 4 rectangles, with each rectangle consisting of two triangles. Pinch together the seams of the rectangles to seal them. Break the bacon slices in half and place them on one half of each rectangle. Top the bacon with the scrambled eggs and cheese. Fold the dough over the filling and pinch the edges together to seal them. Place the filled pockets on the prepared baking sheet.

  5. Melt the remaining butter in the microwave and then brush it over the breakfast pockets.

  6. Bake the pockets in the preheated oven until they turn golden brown, which usually takes about 12 to 15 minutes.
