Instructions
1
Turn your oven to 375°F and lay a sheet of parchment on the baking pan so the pockets don’t stick.
2
Set a skillet over medium heat and brown the ground beef until it’s no longer pink; tip it into a colander to drain off any extra fat.
3
Sprinkle in salt, pepper, and a splash of ketchup or mustard if you like, then stir everything together and slide the skillet off the heat.
4
Mix in the shredded cheddar until it melts into the beef, creating gooey pockets of flavor.
5
Unroll the crescent dough, then gently press the perforations together to form four neat rectangles.
6
Spoon 2–3 tablespoons of the beef mixture onto one half of each rectangle, fold the dough over the top, and pinch the edges shut with your fingers; seal with a fork for extra hold.
7
Beat the egg in a small bowl, then lightly brush it over the tops of the pockets so they turn golden and glossy in the oven.
8
Slide the pockets onto the baking sheet and bake 12–15 minutes, until they’re puffed and deep golden brown.
