My Little Kitchen: Pocket Filling Recommendations

Pocket Filling Recommendations

My last recipe posted was for pocket dough. I can't say enough about the versatility of the dough. I wanted to list some of my family's favorite fillings for the pockets pies. I will add more as we try new ones.

Pizza: Pepperoni, mozzarella, parmesan, cheddar, pizza sauce, pesto, peperoncinis.
Brush with butter and sprinkle cheese on top right before baking.

Cheeseburger: Ground beef, ketchup, mustard, velveeta.
Brown ground beef and stir in a big squeeze of both ketchup and mustard. Cut the velveeta into to small cubes and add into the pockets with the ground beef. Brush pockets with egg wash, and sprinkle with sesame seeds before baking.


Mexican Chicken:
Chicken breast, ranchero sauce.
Saute chicken breast and combine with homemade ranchero sauce. Brush pockets with egg wash before baking.


Dessert:
Fruit preserves, cream cheese, cinnamon, sugar.
Combine softened cream cheese with preserves. Make sure the cream cheese and preserves are completely mixed or the cream cheese with separate into tiny pieces, and look a little weird. Brush with butter before baking. Toss is cinnamon and sugar immediately after baking. These are also delicious with only the preserves.
