A make-ahead breakfast to make mornings smooth!
Assembling these breakfast hot pockets is easy! Allow frozen puff pastry to thaw on the counter while you make the filling. Add chorizo to a medium sized skillet and cook it over a low to medium heat. When the chorizo is almost done, crack the eggs into the skillet and fold in the black beans. Remove the mixture from the heat and stir in sour cream. By now, your puff pastry should be ready to cut and be stuffed. Add a slice of pepper jack cheese to each piece of pastry and a heaping tablespoon of filling. Fold over and seal with a fork.
Refrigerate the hot pockets overnight or wrap them in foil and stick them in the freezer to enjoy at a later date. The next time you want a hot and hearty breakfast, just pop these in the oven! They are perfect for when unexpected guests come into town or busy week days. This recipe makes eight hot pockets, but you can easily double it. Make a double batch during meal prep so you have some for the next morning and a batch for freezing for later!

- Sour cream for dipping
- Sliced avocados

Instructions

- Add one slice of pepper jack cheese to each piece of puff pastry. Add about a tablespoon of the mixture to each piece of puff pastry, spread and fold over like a triangle. Seal carefully with a fork.

- Freeze and bake later: Heat the oven to 325ºF and bake for about 30 minutes.
Notes
Chef Home Tip: Brush the puff pastry with an egg wash (beat one egg) before baking for a golden brown finish.
Give this tasty recipe a try and feel free to get creative with it. Substitutions are allowed and encouraged. For a fantastic vegetarian option, try increasing the amount of beans, eggs, and cheese, and add in additional vegetables. Chopped onion, red pepper, and corn are also great add ins.
