Who loves Hot Pockets raise a hand 🙋‍♂️. Hot Pockets used to be a go-to meal for me growing up and into college. Now that I have a perfected Keto Hot Pocket that has a flaky pastry style crust, I am super excited! You can fill it with whatever your heart desires but today we’re doing a breakfast style hot pocket that’s loaded with Kiolbassa Jalapeño Beef Smoked Sausage, scrambled eggs, onions, peppers, and cheese. Talk about a breakfast of champions.

The Kiolbassa Jalapeño Beef Smoked Sausage adds a great smoky/spicy flavor to the hot pocket. I like that it’s a bit heartier than your traditional style breakfast sausage too. With the peppers and onions, it just can’t be beaten.

The dough recipe here is sort of a fathead dough but without cream cheese. It’s super easy to throw together making this perfectly easy enough for weekday mornings.

The dough also holds together REALLY well making it easy to stuff and fold without the dough ripping apart, not an easy feat in gluten-free / keto / low-carb cooking let me tell you.

I’ve added a bit of xanthan gum here to help with that as it kind of acts like gluten to increase the elasticity of the dough. It’s not 100% necessary so if you don’t have it on hand or don’t include it in your diet, no worries, just leave it out.

Step By Step Folding Instructions:

Keto Breakfast Sausage Hot Pockets folding step 1: fold in on the long side

Folding step 2: fold in the short sides

Hot Pocket folding step 3: fold in the remaing long side, lightly press togeether

folding step 4: flip and poke holes in the top for steam to escape.

The best part? You can make these ahead of time and freeze them so that you can just pop one in the oven when you’re ready. I place the uncooked pocket on a parchment sheet and freeze for about an hour then wrap in aluminum foil or parchment and then place in a freezer-safe container.

The cooking time for a frozen pocket will be a bit longer than that if you’re cooking them fresh. I’d start with 30 minutes and go from there until it’s nice and golden brown.

Now I have all sorts of fun recipes planned using this dough, pizza pockets anyone? How about ham and cheese or Philly style? Oh yes, this will be fun!

Total Time: 40 minutes
Servings: 2
Calories: 510kcal

Ingredients

  • ¾ cup shredded mozzarella part skim / low moisture
  • ⅓ cup almond flour
  • 1 egg white
  • ½ teaspoon xanthan gum optional

Filling:

  • 1 tablespoon avocado oil
  • 2 tablespoons diced onion
  • 2 tablespoons diced bell pepper
  • 1 tablespoon diced jalapeno pepper
  • 1 Kiolbassa Jalapeno Smoked Sausage diced
  • 2 large eggs
  • ¼ cup shredded Mexican blend cheese

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400° F.
  • In a medium mixing bowl melt the mozzarella in the microwave just until melted, about 30 seconds.
  • Stir in the remaining dough ingredients into the mozzarella.
  • Roll into a ball and knead 1 or 2 times. Place the dough between 2 sheets of parchment paper. Using a rolling pin roll the dough out to a ¼” thickness.
  • Heat the oil in a large cast iron skillet over medium high heat. Once hot add in the peppers and onions, cooking 2-3 minutes until soft. Add in the sausage, cooking another 2-3 minutes longer until browned. Use a spatula to scoot the mixture to one side and crack in the eggs. Scramble the eggs and cook just until done.
  • Place the mixture in the middle of the dough folding in the sides. Poke the top with a fork so that the steam can escape while cooking.
  • Carefully transfer the hot pocket to the skillet and transfer to the oven. Bake for 20 minutes until golden brown. Remove from pan, cut in half and serve.

    Do you think these will freeze well? With four homeschooled kids, Im considering making a bunch to freeze.

      Yes, they freeze great! The best way we’ve found is to cook them all the way, place on a baking sheet in a single layer and freeze for 3 hours before transferring to a freezer-safe container. To reheat, pop them in a 375° oven for 15 ish minutes until hot and crispy.

    OK, these are SO DAMN GOOD! I didn’t have the jalapeño sausage so I used breakfast sausage crumbles, but added Mama Lil’s peppers (AMAZING Seattle-based jarred peppers) for some spice instead of the bell peppers. Did a cheddar-jack-Oaxaca cheese combo… almost brought tears to my eyes. I found the dough to be a little sticky so I added a little more almond flour and it rolled out better. I will most definitely be making these again. Cheers!

These Cauliflower Walnut Taco Cups were originally These Cauliflower Walnut Taco Cups were originally featured in our cookbook and now that Cast Iron Keto is focused on plant-based + low-carb recipes, we thought it deserved a permanent place on the website.⁠⁠If you have our cookbook, have you tried this recipe out of the Meatless Monday chapter? If not, we hope you do, even if you’re more omnivore than plant-based. Why? Because they are simply delicious!⁠⁠The combination of the crumbled walnuts, tender cauliflower, and smoky chipotle peppers in adobo sauce create a filling that, while it resembles ground beef, is much more layered in flavors.⁠⁠The toppings are completely up to you, these are just our go-to’s. Some type of creamy sauce would be delicious too. Maybe a bit of dairy-free (or regular) sour cream mixed with a bit of extra chipotle in adobo? Yes, that sounds just perfect.
