I used half whole wheat and half in white whole wheat flour (both by kingarthur) and ...quite honestly, y'all would be better off with at least half all-purpose flour and maybe some whole wheat...the dough was quite thick like hearty bread with some eggs inside...I rather taste something more like flaky bread over the egg mixture...did yours taste more like what I hope for?

My husband leaves for work early and takes two store-bought Hot Pockets with him every morning to work. I was slightly worried about replacing his regular breakfast, but am trying to wean myself from buying more expensive convenience items like these. He was skeptical last night, but took them with him to work this morning. When he came home at lunch, he said they were great. Yay!! I figured it up and I can make them for 1/2 the cost of buying them already made. Thanks for sharing the recipe. It took me a week, but I finally got up the nerve to make these yesterday.

I pinched them out into base-ball sized balls of dough and they are turning out HUGE! I only got 9 out of it with about 1/3c. of stuffing in each. I'm afraid they're going to be very "doughy" in the end. We'll see. At least it'll be a fast, ready-made breakfast option that isn't cereal ;) Thanks to the pps for the frozen burrito ideas. Duh! Can't believe I never thought of that one... I am making these right now. I pinched them out into base-ball sized balls of dough and they are turning out HUGE!

One stick of butter is 1/2 cup butter, so two sticks is 1 cup of butter. Sorry for any confusion. Happy cooking to you! 16 oz. sausage is usually one roll of sausage, although getting a perfect ratio is really not all that essential with this recipe.

My kids will definitely love this. I prefer home cooked and home made meals, especially ingredients made from scratch and whole foods, because I'm scared of all the preservatives, chemicals and whatever additives that's usually in most of the processed foods. So I buy organic ingredients and make it myself. I'm sure my family will love this. Thank you so much for sharing the recipe. My kids will definitely love this.

It came out great and super cheap. I don't have any breakfast meats right now (except for ham and bacon in the freezer but was too lazy to deal with them) so I didn't have any meat in them except for the bacon bits in the pantry. I beat up 6 eggs (got on sale for $.50 per dozen), added some shredded cheddar, a few bacon bits, and a half of pepper (on sale $.33 each). I poured them into a silicone muffin pan. Then I took one of those 8ct Grands biscuits (the big can got on sale for $.27) and tore each biscuit into 3 pieces and dropped a piece into each muffin cup and baked them. I had 4 extra biscuits that I cooked regular for eating with preserves. The little breakfast things came out really yummy and cost me under $1 for 12 of them! Thank you to all of you that gave me ideas! Ok so I was feeling really lazy and didn’t feel like following a recipe so I combined tips from some of the comments along with the original idea.

Costs 99 cents. It would be a faster, healthier and cheap alternative to making your own dough. Trader Joe’s has a fabulous whole wheat pizza dough that comes in a bag, uncooked. Costs 99 cents.

One thing that helped was to bake them in mini-bread pans. I have ten of them so I could only cook ten at a time BUT they shape nicely which makes for easy holding AND easy storage.

I'm wondering because I have a lot of self-rising flour on hand from sale prices over the holidays. Thank you for sharing this recipe. : )
