Homemade Hot Pockets

This is a (fairly) quick and easy breakfast that is always a big hit in our household.  Homemade hot pockets.  Crescent rolls, ham, cheese.  Can't go wrong with that.


Line a cookie sheet with nonstick foil.


Unroll Crescent sheet (not the rolls, the whole sheet kind).  Preheat oven to whatever degree it suggests on the package.


Stretch it out a bit so it's even and in a good rectangle shape.


Like so.  It stretches easily.  You don't need a rolling pin.


Use a pastry wheel (mine is also called "a pizza cutter") to cut the dough in half lengthwise.


Then make three more cuts to separate into eight equal parts.




Voila.


Sprinkle cheese in four of your rectangles.  Cheddar or the mexican blend works best.  Try very hard not to get cheese on any of the edges.  If you do you won't be able to seal them.


Top the cheese with ham.  As much as you think you can get to fit.


Top ham with your other piece of dough.


Pinch together at seams.  Pinch well, because you don't want the cheese to come out.


Transfer to your cookie sheet.


Bake for about 10 minutes (follow package directions but check after 10 minutes), until golden brown.  See what I mean about the cheese???  Grrr.


Mmmmm.


Yummy.


Bedhead alert!  Everyone is a fan of these at our house.


They made A-Dub so happy he allowed me to put his picture on the blog.  Yes, he is eating it with a fork.  I know.  Party foul.


If it is bread-related, this one will eat it!
