We loved our Spinach, Egg & Cheese Pockets for breakfast so much, I whipped up a version for lunch and the results are basically the same: DE-DE-DE-LICIOUS.
And in between all that gooey cheese and satisfying ham is a cheeky serving of veggies. Tucked politely inside, along for the ride. Not bad for a bag of frozen broccoli!
What you need to make Broccoli, Ham & Cheese Pockets
- Extra sharp cheddar cheese
- Smoked ham (I like the kind without nitrates)
- Chopped broccoli (a bag of frozen chopped broccoli is perfect!)
- Biscuit dough*
*The point of these pockets is adding veggies to lunch, and we’re taking a shortcut on the dough. If you want to make your own dough, I’d love to hear which recipe you like best! Please share with us in the comments.
How to make Broccoli, Ham & Cheese Pockets
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
Roll out each biscuit and pile 1 slice of cheese, a hearty tablespoon of broccoli and two slices of ham on top.
Pull the edges together and flip the pocket so the seams are down. Arrange on a parchment-lined baking sheet. 
Bake at 350 degrees F for about 20 minutes until the tops are brown.
Allow the cheese to cool slightly before serving (just a couple of minutes) or store in the fridge to serve another time.
Tip: It’s easy to assemble these pockets in advance, store in the fridge, and bake off when you’re ready.
